How to treat upset and anxiety disorder

Anxiety disorder is a disease with relatively good treatment effect and good prognosis among neurosis. It is generally treated with psychotherapy and medication. The details are as follows:

1. Drug treatment: Based on comprehensive considerations such as the patient's condition, physical condition, financial situation, physical disease, and allergic factors, it is generally recommended to take medication for a long time, about 1-2 years. You need to consult your doctor when stopping or increasing the dosage, and you cannot make adjustments without permission. You should keep in touch with your doctor while taking the medicine, and resolve any side effects in a timely manner. The first drug to be taken is benzodiazepines, also known as diazepam drugs, which are characterized by a relatively fast onset of action, usually taking effect in 30-60 minutes, and a relatively good anti-anxiety effect. If taken in larger doses, they can have a hypnotic effect. However, the drug has a short action time and may need to be taken 2-3 times a day. Like lorazepam and alprazolam, it needs to be taken 3 times a day. If used in large quantities for a long time, it will have a certain physical dependence. If the drug is stopped immediately, withdrawal may occur. Therefore, the drug withdrawal time is relatively long. Since the sedative effect of this drug is not very strong, it has less impact on patients who work during the day. Usually, the application of benzodiazepines needs to start with a small dose. If the effect is good, take one tablet. It is not recommended to add the maximum amount at once. If the effect is not good, the amount can be increased gradually. At the same time, it is recommended that short-acting drugs and long-acting drugs be used alternately, and try not to increase the maximum amount of one drug. Alternate use can reduce dependence and addiction caused by long-term use of drugs. The second is antidepressants. Because patients with anxiety disorders are often accompanied by neurotransmitter imbalances caused by neuroendocrine system disorders, which lead to a state of depression, the application of antidepressant drugs can make patients' anxiety symptoms disappear. For generalized anxiety disorder, paroxetine hydrochloride, citalopram, venlafaxine, etc. can be used ； For anxiety such as panic attacks, commonly used drugs are Seroxate, Citalopram, etc. ；

2. Psychotherapy: Clinicians establish a good doctor-patient relationship through their own verbal or non-verbal therapy, that is, physical behavioral therapy. Only when patients trust you and are completely dependent on you can they communicate psychologically with them. Therefore, we must first establish a good doctor-patient relationship, and then carry out psychological treatment and instill medical expertise, so that patients can open their hearts while receiving drugs.

Medication treats the symptoms, while psychotherapy treats the root cause. Both are indispensable. In addition, feedback therapy, relaxation therapy, music therapy and behavioral therapy can all be used to comprehensively treat anxiety disorders.
