Anxiety
disorders are real, serious, and treatable conditions,
if diagnosed. Finding the right health professional
to treat you or talk to you about the symptoms
you might be experiencing is important. The person
you choose should be qualified to treat anxiety
problems, and you should feel at ease with him
or her.
There
is a wide range of health professionals who are
trained to treat anxiety disorders including:
psychiatrists; psychologists; clinical social
workers; therapists; psychiatric nurses; counselors;
and primary care physicians. ADAA offers a health
professional directory that can be searched by
geographical area (see the second link below).
