Anxiety disorders can be very disabling and reduce your ability to work, study and participate in routine activities. They can lead to isolation and have a negative impact on your relationship with others.
ANXIETY TREATMENT OPTIONS
Talking therapy (psychotherapy)
Psychotherapy (“talking therapy”) aims to understand your symptoms and what they mean, so we can find solutions to alleviate or eliminate them.
Talking therapy is a valuable treatment technique because it allows you to explore what you are feeling in a safe environment, while being guided by a trained professional with strategies on how to deal with anxious or negative thoughts.
There are many different approaches to talking therapy. We know that no two people are the same, so we are guided by what works for you to determine the best approach for your recovery.
Medication
Sometimes medication can help relieve and manage the symptoms of mental health disorders. There are different types of psychiatric medications, suitable for different symptoms.
If we assess that medication would benefit you, we will prescribe one that is appropriate for your symptoms and lifestyle, and will complement other treatments such as talking therapy.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain. Studies have shown that TMS can influence mood in patients with depression, and can be used to treat some psychiatric illnesses.
