Joy Mental Health and Psychiatry
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, board-certified APRN, PMHNP-BC
Anxiety and fears are often treated with a combination of medication management and psychiatric evaluation. Here's a breakdown:
Psychiatric Evaluation:
A psychiatrist, a medical doctor specializing in mental health, conducts a thorough evaluation.
This evaluation involves discussing your symptoms, medical history, and any past treatments.
The psychiatrist might also use standardized tests to assess your mental well-being.
Based on the evaluation, they diagnose the specific anxiety disorder (if present) and recommend a treatment plan.
Medication Management:
The psychiatrist might prescribe medications to manage your anxiety symptoms.
Common medications include:
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) - antidepressants that help regulate mood and reduce anxiety.
Anti-anxiety medications (like Buspirone) - provide more targeted relief.
Benzodiazepines (short-term only) - offer quick relief for severe anxiety but can be habit-forming.
The psychiatrist monitors your response to the medication, adjusting dosage or type if needed.
Remember: Medication is often one piece of the puzzle. Therapy, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can also be very effective in managing anxiety and fears.

Boston Evening Therapy Associates
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LICSW, LMHC, LCSW
Anxiety is the single biggest identifying factor that brings people to therapy. It can appear in a wide range of ways from panic attacks to intrusive and recurrent distressing thoughts to powerful fears and many many others. We recognize that anxiety typically grows out of life experiences including family of origin and internalized world views. We do not look merely to help mitigate symptoms but to through collaboration with you expand your perspective and challenge ways of thinking and behavior which are the fundamental; cause of much suffering and we are prepared to work with you closely to help.
