“How do you treat geriatric anxiety?”

Hi, Thank you for your question. Geriatric anxiety reduction techniques may include but are not limited to, deep diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, grounding exercises, mindfulness meditation, practicing positive mantras or positive self-talk, guided imagery and visualization, and journaling or stream of consciousness writing. I hope this has been helpful!

Hello and thank you for your question,

The treatment of anxiety is pretty much the same. There are medications that decrease anxiety and help with symptoms and also coping strategies that can be learned through talk therapy.

Thank you,

Patricia Harris | MA, MS, LPC
