Planner: Chinese Medical Association Reviewer: Wang Ying, Chief Physician, Tianjin Mental Health Center Psychotherapy and medication each have their own unique advantages, and many doctors recommend combining psychotherapy with medication for more comprehensive and lasting results. Cognitive behavioral therapy in psychotherapy is widely regarded as one of the effective methods for treating anxiety disorders. This method reduces anxiety symptoms by helping patients identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors. In addition, there are a variety of psychotherapy methods such as exposure therapy and mindfulness therapy, which can help patients cope with and manage anxiety well. Drug therapy mainly relieves anxiety symptoms by regulating neurotransmitters in the brain. Commonly used drugs include anti-anxiety drugs and antidepressants. The advantage of drug therapy is that it can relieve symptoms more quickly and is suitable for patients with severe symptoms or who need rapid intervention. However, drug therapy may be accompanied by adverse reactions, and some people may relapse after stopping medication; psychotherapy usually has a gentle treatment process and a more lasting effect. The specific treatment plan should be evaluated and formulated by a professional physician based on individual circumstances. |
