Helping Those with Anxiety Disorder in NZ
At Auckland Psychiatrist, our caring mental health professionals have years of expertise dealing with patients suffering from an anxiety disorder in NZ. We provide individual, tailor-made and flexible treatment programmes based on current clinical evidence. Treatment for anxiety disorder for our patients in NZ may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both.
Psychotherapy for Anxiety
Psychotherapy is a method of treating anxiety disorder in NZ, to help understand and normalise your anxieties. The treatment can take place in groups or individually. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, is a way of alleviating psychological distress. CBT will help to learn more positive emotional and behavioural responses to situations and feelings that bring on your anxiety
Anxiety Medication New Zealand
Anxiety medication may help NZ patients to feel less anxious and cope better so that they can start to enjoy life and deal with problems more effectively. While there are different types of anxiety medication available in NZ, it is not necessarily a given that you will require them for treatment. Your doctor will assess your conditions, closely monitor your progress and may decide to prescribe anxiety medications if they feel you could benefit from them.
Bipolar, Depression and Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety disorders are an especially common mental health condition associated with bipolar and depressive disorder. Many people with bipolar and depressive disorder can experience anxiety during their lifetime. With coexisting bipolar or depression and anxiety, treatment typically involves a combination of medications, individual psychotherapy and family therapy. Doctors may initially prescribe medication for bipolar or depression, and treat related anxiety symptoms as deemed necessary.
