I experience episodes of anxiety every three years or so. Is it due to my medicines?

Hello,

Welcome to ciliniq.com.

I can understand you well. But, I ask you not to worry as many of my patients who went through anxiety disorder have recovered, thanks to psychotherapy completely. Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as racing of the heart and shakiness. There are a number of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder, among others. While each has its own characteristics and symptoms, they all include symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorders mainly because medicines do not alter behavior. Behavior change and continuous practice of the changed behavior cure anxiety. I suggest anxiety education, progressive counseling, and progressive psychotherapy. I assure you complete cure. I need to know more about your anxiety so that I will be able to diagnose it properly and provide you with tips to overcome and manage your anxiety. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health problem. Symptoms typically include recurring thoughts and repetitive actions in response to the recurring thoughts. A common example is recurring thoughts about germs and dirt, with a need to wash your hands repeatedly to clean off the germs. However, there are many other examples like sexual thoughts, counting, checking, orderliness, etc. The usual treatments are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), antidepressant medicine, or both. Treatment often works well to reduce the symptoms and distress of OCD greatly. Take care. Thank you.
