“Can you go to the hospital for anxiety?”

You can but should not have to unless it is unrelenting Panic. Treatment is by medication, counselling or a combination of both. Treatment prognosis is good.

If one has anxiety of "panic" proportions, where one is in a state of terror over what might happen to one, such a person would often go to an emergency room of a hospital, let the hospital staff know what one is suffering, and get help pretty quickly with medications that help calm that level of anxiety. Once the acute symptom was relieved, the next question would be: what had inspired the high anxiety in the first place: breakup of a love-relationship? A serious financial reversal in one' business? Death of a close relative? It might then be prudent to get further help with a psychotherapist who could learn from the patient what the major difficulty was in the person's life that led to the intense anxiety, feeling of hopelessness, etc., that led to the overwhelming anxiety in the first place. Medication could take care of the intense anxiety; then, psychotherapy could then help the patient to strengthen the coping mechanisms needed to deal adequately with the life situation that had precipitated the anxiety in the first place.

Dr. M. Stone, MD

Yes, you can go to the hospital for anxiety, but they will probably only treat you with a short acting anti-anxiety medication and tell you to follow up with an Outpatient Psychiatrist.

Anxiety is a disorder of neurophysiological origin. Most anxiety can be pharmacologically treated. On rare occasions when anxiety is associated with psychosis, it might necessitate inpatient care, but that is very rare.
