What to do if anxiety disorder relapses

As people are under increasing pressure, the number of patients suffering from anxiety disorders is also increasing, causing serious impact on patients' lives. Like many mental illnesses, anxiety disorder also requires careful treatment and care, and the cycle is relatively long and it is easy to recur. So, what should we do if anxiety disorder relapses? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Drug treatment and nursing methods: For patients whose anxiety symptoms are not very serious and have little impact on their life, study and work, drug treatment is not necessary. More serious cases are still treated with medication, mainly new-generation antidepressants. The key to treatment lies in the choice of medicine. Western medicine can control symptoms quickly but the side effects are relatively large. Traditional Chinese medicine has a stable effect.

2. Self-treatment and self-care: Some neurotic anxieties are caused by the patient's suppression of certain emotional experiences or desires, which is suppressed unintentionally, but still lurks in the unconscious, thus causing symptoms. At this time, you must reflect on yourself and speak out the things in your subconscious mind that are causing you pain. You can vent your emotions when necessary, and the symptoms will generally disappear after venting.

3. Psychotherapy and its nursing methods: Psychotherapy, also known as mental therapy, achieves the purpose of eliminating symptoms and curing diseases by changing the patient's cognition, emotions, will and behavior. It can also play a preventive role. At present, the treatment of anxiety disorders is mainly based on psychotherapy, which can also be combined with appropriate medication for comprehensive treatment. Under the guidance of a psychologist, patients can fully understand the causes and background of anxiety disorders and learn to transfer or resolve mental stress.

The above is an introduction to the solution to the recurrence of anxiety disorders. I hope it will be helpful to patients. There are many ways to treat anxiety disorders. Drug treatment is only external. The key is that family members and friends should help patients share stress and actively guide patients. Patients should also adjust their mentality to avoid the recurrence of anxiety disorders.
