When it comes to treating anxiety and depressive disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because therapy – as opposed to medication – treats more than just symptoms of the problem. Therapy helps get to the root of the problem so you can live a happier life.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety and depression:

  • Nervousness, restlessness or being tense

  • Feelings of danger, panic or dread

  • Rapid breathing or hyperventilation

  • Increased or heavy sweating

  • Trembling or muscle twitching

  • Weakness or lethargy

  • Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about

  • Insomnia

  • Low energy and/or motivation

  • Excessive sadness

Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

CBT can help by teaching you to evaluate your thinking patterns and make changes to them in order to change how you feel about a situation.
