What should I do when I feel anxious?

If you are anxious and the situation is serious, I hope we can all pay attention to solving it in a timely and effective manner. If you don’t know how to correctly treat this psychological problem, it is recommended to find a psychologist to discover it as early as possible and take formal treatment or auxiliary medication.

1. The most direct way is to go to the hospital and see a doctor. Early and regular treatment is an important means to relieve anxiety. Because anxiety disorders are caused by a combination of factors, treatment should also be comprehensive to achieve good results. Comprehensive treatment includes appropriate medication, psychotherapy, family rehabilitation therapy, etc.

2. Drug treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. The choice of drugs and how to use them must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Many times, some patients go to the doctor again and again but do not see good results. This is because although they have chosen the appropriate medicine, they have not taken it according to the appropriate method. Commonly used drugs include anti-anxiety drugs, sedatives, and some antidepressants, of course, Chinese medicine, acupuncture therapy, etc.

3. Family rehabilitation is simple and cheap, so it is more easily accepted by most patients. However, it must be done under the guidance of a doctor and with perseverance to achieve better results. Family rehabilitation treatment includes diet adjustment, proper exercise, self-psychological adjustment and other methods.

In terms of diet, the principle is to follow a balanced diet. You can eat more crude fiber foods rich in vitamin B, and avoid caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and other substances that can easily cause nervous excitement. There are also some foods containing calcium, lecithin and other substances such as milk, eggs, green leafy vegetables rich in folic acid, bananas rich in calcium and magnesium, etc., or eating some foods that have calming and heat-clearing effects such as dates, lilies, lotus seeds with cores, chrysanthemum tea, etc., which can also play a good therapeutic role.

4. In terms of exercise and daily life, you should try to have a regular life, have fixed times for eating and sleeping, and ensure a certain amount of time for outdoor activities every day. Don't be too intense, just keep doing it for a long time.

5. The main purpose of self-psychological adjustment is to relax the patient's tense nerves. You can listen to some soothing music, find a posture that you feel comfortable in, take a deep breath, close your eyes, imagine yourself on a vast grassland or at the warm seaside, the air is fresh, relax all the muscles in your body, and think about things that make you happy. Or you can do some massage on the head, for example, use your fingers to gently massage the scalp like combing your hair. If possible, massage some specific acupoints, such as Neiguan, Quchi, Zusanli, Yongquan, etc.
