Anxiety and Stress
Each year, more than 40 million people suffer from some kind of stress or anxiety related condition. Primary Care Physicians report both anxiety and stress as being one of the most common reasons for their patient's visits. Medication is often helpful or even necessary to lessen an individual's anxiety level, but it's not a cure. Most individuals benefit more when treatment includes psychotherapy.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is considered the "treatment of choice" for treating anxiety and stress and is well documented as having better and faster reduction in symptoms when either combined with medication or on its own depending on the symptom severity.
