You may be offered medication to help manage your anxiety.
Some common medications for anxiety are:
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) – ssri’s are antidepressants used to help treat anxiety. Sertraline is the most common ssri suggested for anxiety, but there are other ssris available
benzodiazepines – doctors should only prescribe benzodiazepines if your anxiety is extreme or if you are in crisis. This is because they are addictive and become less effective if used long-term
beta-blockers – these can help with the physical signs of anxiety. They can help to lower a fast heartbeat, shaking or blushing.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Meditation music helps Trishna to relax
Trishna explains how she stays healthy: listening to meditation music every day can take your mind off worrying. Find a walking route that you enjoy, such as a walk beside water. Keep healthy by being out and about in the fresh air. By walking you can meet so many different people. Being outside, you can just relax and don’t have to think of anything.
