Why won't just being on meds alone make your anxiety go away, why is counseling !
Question:
Why won't just being on meds alone make your anxiety go away, why is counseling important with healing?
Answers:
The chemicals in your brain respond to both the meds and therapy.
Medications help you get through a tough time if you are having trouble coping with everyday life. They can help make the anxiety better, but they are not a cure-all.
Therapy helps you figure out why you get anxious and helps you come up with solutions for coping. There are different kinds of therapy, so finding the right therapist/counselor is as important as anything.
The idea is to teach your brain to work around the things that have caused you anxiety in the past. Medication and therapy can make a good team. The long-term goal is to reduce dependence on medication.
