There are many forms of
anxiety treatment
available and people have their own particular story to tell regarding their own
experiences. At BeOnForm, we cross paths with hundreds of people who suffer the
effects of anxiety, panic and agoraphobia
in the course of conducting anxiety treatment and as we work with people,
patterns emerge that cast light on the way anxiety based illnesses are treated,
not just in Europe, but worldwide.
Most people suffering anxiety initially put up with it, suffering quietly, just
sharing their predicament with a loved one or very close friend. But eventually
they seek the advice of their Doctor and ask him for some sort of anxiety
treatment. The usual response at this stage, from what our clients tell us is
that the Doctor prescribes a low dosage of one of the many medications
available. The most popular of which are:
Tri-cyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as Buspirone
SSRIs, such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil
Anti-anxiety agents, such as Ativan and Klonopin
Most people say that they feel no effect or even feel worse initially and that
if the medication is going to help them it normally takes a few weeks to become
obvious. Many people are happy to carry on their life, as they describe to us
“existing” rather than “living” for years, before they return to the surgery to
request something more powerful, an anxiety treatment that is a “treatment”
rather than drugs.
Some Doctors at this point will prescribe Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
but most refer the patient for counselling. Over and over, we have been told
that whilst this has helped, it hasn’t been enough and the anxiety is still
there. If they are lucky, they are then offered CBT, which has a far higher
success rate than medication or counselling, but still leaves room for
improvement!
It’s normally at this point, when nothing else works, that people come to us for
anxiety treatment. That is understandable of course, because everyone seeks the
free solution first, that’s human nature, however they all say the same thing
after their anxiety treatment has been completed, “I wish I had done this
before.” The cost of private therapy is nothing compared to the cost if you
don’t use it. Some people say, “I can’t afford it,” but the truth is they can’t
afford not to! We only walk this path once, and every day lost to anxiety, is a
day that can’t be replaced! Hopefully, one day modern therapy methods will be
publicly available, but in the meantime private healthcare is the answer.
