How to cope with anxiety disorder

Feelings of anxiety and panic can interfere with one’s daily activities and can be challenging to control.

One is advised to see a healthcare professional if the anxiety is affecting their life and relationships.

The healthcare team can help rule out any underlying physical health issue before referring you to a mental health professional.

While many people with anxiety disorders need psychotherapy or medications to get anxiety under control, lifestyle changes and coping strategies also can make a difference.
