Some people feel anxious if they have too many commitments at once. These may involve family, work, and health-related activities. Having a plan in place for the next necessary action can help to keep this anxiety at bay. Effective time management strategies can help people to focus on one task at a time. Book-based planners and online calendars can help, as can resisting the urge to multitask. Some people find that breaking major projects down into manageable steps can help them to accomplish those tasks with less stress.

Managing Anxiety vs. “Curing” It

There is a considerable difference between managing anxiety and curing anxiety. Managing anxiety does not mean it no longer exists. It means that you have learned skills (meditation, exercise, deliberate breathing, etc. ) or utilized medications to bring your symptoms under better control. Most individuals can learn to manage their anxiety. Curing anxiety insinuates that you will likely never suffer from anxiety again. Anxiety is just like most chronic illnesses; there is rarely a cure, but almost always a way to manage it.

The authors concluded that ssris and snris along with pregabalin should be considered first-line treatments. They characterized tcas, bzds, vortioxetine, bupropion xl, buspirone, quetiapine, and hydroxyzine as second-line treatments.
