Many people with anxiety disorders and their families believe that anxiety disorders are illnesses that are thought out and therefore do not need and should not be treated with medication, believing that “heart disease requires heart medicine” and that they have to look away. In fact, this view is one-sided or incorrect. The cause of the disease is still unclear, and modern medical research has found that it may be related to genetic factors, personality traits, cognitive processes, adverse life events, biochemical and physical diseases. Treatment must be systematic and standardized from the beginning, and patients must make regular follow-up visits to the hospital and adhere to a full amount and course of treatment. It should be noted that medications for anxiety disorders are slow to take effect, and most of the symptoms take 2~3 weeks to improve significantly after taking antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications. It is often found in the clinic that some patients who have taken the medication for a few days feel that the effect is not obvious, so they stop the medication or change to other drugs, which makes the condition more complicated and difficult to treat. Generally, the anxiety symptoms will be relieved or disappear after 3~4 months of effective medication, and the patient’s social function will be gradually restored, which is the clinical cure in the eyes of doctors. However, clinical recovery is not the same as complete cure, and many patients may experience recurrent symptoms if they choose to stop taking medication immediately at this time. Because anxiety disorders are chronic, recurring disorders, the relapse rate is at least 50% for patients who have had one episode and 80% to 90% for patients who have had two episodes. For patients with anxiety disorders, adequate medication is essential. Especially in severe chronic patients, such as those with generalized anxiety, treatment should be continued for at least 12 months. Many patients require longer-term treatment to prevent relapse. In order to prevent relapse of anxiety disorders, long-term treatment for 12 to 24 months has been advocated in recent years, and individual patients may need to take medication for life. Psychotherapy also plays a very important role in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Patients with anxiety disorders do better when they receive medication along with psychotherapy. Numerous medical studies have shown that medication is more effective if the anxiety patient’s family and friends truly understand and care for them. If the patient is not understood, and if the family and friends around the patient intentionally or unintentionally give some bad stimulation, then the medication will not be effective and the treatment will last longer. Commonly used psychotherapy methods include supportive psychotherapy, exposure therapy, relaxation training, cognitive reconstruction, etc. Clinicians will choose the appropriate psychotherapy method for treatment according to the actual situation of the patient.
