  • How long should I take medications for anxiety?

    That is an answer best addressed with your doctor. Never stop medications without proper consultation from a professional.

  • Can anxiety attacks be life-threatening?

    While anxiety attacks may feel as if they are life threatening, they are not.

READ MORE

  • Can alcohol addiction be completely cured?

    No alcohol addiction cannot be cured. However, your friend can live a life in recovery from addiction with the proper supports in place. READ MORE

  • How long is the treatment for alcohol addiction?

    Seeking help for addiction has no time frame. Addiction cannot be “rid of”; a person who is in recovery from their addiction is learning how to navigate through life while managing the urges each and every day. Changing the perspective of living with addiction and navigating people, places, and things will help promote this recovery. This is a lifelong process. The length of treatment depends on many factors including, type of addiction, years engaging in behavior, where you receive treatment, and most importantly your motivation for a life worth living. Thanks so much for your inquiry and the best of luck to you on your journey. Kudos for taking one of the initial steps by seeking support! READ MORE

  • Can a psychologist help anxiety patients?

    Yes. Psychologists are trained to help individuals with anxiety symptoms. Such therapies that have been proven effective include DBT and CBT. Thank you for your inquiry. READ MORE

  • Is treatment for anxiety permanent?

    Thank you for your inquiry. To say that anxiety will be permanently removed from your life is unlikely. However, using skills from therapies including but not limited to DBT and CBT can definitely provide helpful ways to manage it so you can continue to have the life that worth living that you deserve.
