Anxiety disorder therapies involve a range of treatments designed to help people manage their symptoms and reduce the intensity of their anxiety. These treatments may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, lifestyle changes, and medications. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people to identify and address thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their anxiety. Exposure therapy helps people to confront and reduce their fear of situations and objects that provoke anxiety. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation can help reduce both physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety. Making lifestyle changes such as getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising can also help manage anxiety. Medications may also be used to help reduce symptoms.
