Your guide to anti-anxiety medications Business

The first thing to know about anti anxiety medications: It isn’t a cure-all. Rather, it can lessen your symptoms so that you can get back to your daily life and better focus on the source of your anxiety with your doctor or therapist. Your health care provider will talk with you about your symptoms and help you decide which medications may be right for you, and when. “When I meet with a patient, I always ask, ‘What do you hope for? What is the first thing you hope gets better?’” explains Dr. Kennedy. “We talk about what causes their anxiety and what makes it better or worse.”
