Anxiety Treatment Overview
Anxiety or fear, based on a realistic trigger, can protect you and is part of everyday life. Feelings of anxiety typically stop within minutes or at most a few hours, depending on the situation.
Recurring feelings of anxiety, panic attacks, worry about panic attacks, fear of certain situations, and anxious feelings that linger are not helpful. If these feelings distress you, or cause you to change what you do, or to avoid certain situations, you may want to seek help.
