Can a Psychiatrist Help with Anxiety?

Psychiatrists are well-equipped to diagnose and treat anxiety. Your psychiatrist will likely provide you with medications and regular psychotherapy sessions. Your anxiety medication has a higher chance of working when paired with coping strategies learned in therapy. Everyone is different and will require a highly individualized treatment plan. Lifestyle changes can also affect your anxiety levels.

Some tips for easing your anxiety includes:

Practicing meditation
Dep breathing exercises
Prioritizing sleep
Limiting caffeine
Staying active.

You can also talk to your women’s health doctor to discuss how your hormones, menstrual cycle, and birth control contribute to your anxiety symptoms.
