“Can anxiety be controlled?”

Yes, anxiety can be treated with a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, combined with supportive psychotherapy, and may require medication for anxiety or depression, depending on the severity of symptoms. A strong treatment alliance between an individual and therapist is optimal.

Hello, Yes it is possible to manage anxiety.

Hello! Im happy to say YES! General anxiety can be controlled in many many ways. The trick is to find the one that fits you best. Like shoes, you need to try on many different styles in a size that works for your particular feet. So my advice is for you to go for an evaluation a psychologist can do that who can recommend the most likely fit for you. For example, there is medication (psychiatrist); hypnosis (psychologist/psychiatrist/social worker/nurse with certification by the ASCH); cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy; group therapy; meditation classes; physical exercise....But when you find the best shoes for you, you will walk forward without that crippling companion of anxious thoughts. Good luck! peace, (Dr.) Marian Shapiro Licensed Psychologist
