Anxiety is treatable. The main recommended treatment for anxiety is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which involves an individualized analysis of problem situations and thought patterns. It focuses on feelings, thoughts and behaviours related to anxiety. CBT works to change behaviours and thought patterns to reduce suffering and improve quality of life. Another treatment for anxiety disorders is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses more on acceptance and mindfulness.
Treatment of mild to moderate anxiety is usually done in primary care, while more severe problems, where you are often more limited in your functioning, are treated at a specialist level. Anxiety treatment in primary care can last between about 4-10 sessions. At Lavendla we have several licensed psychologists and qualified therapists who can help.
