Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Psychologists and psychiatrists both come from different educational backgrounds and also have different skills and approaches to treat behavioral and mental illnesses. While psychiatrists are licensed medical professionals who can prescribe medicines and perform other medical procedures to treat or manage the condition, psychologists can not deal with medicines but use therapies to treat their patients.
Behavioral issues like anxiety can be treated with psychotherapy, hence psychologists are the best mental health practitioners to treat anxiety. However, if anxiety becomes irrational and starts to interfere in one’s daily life, it needs to be treated with medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Anxiety disorders fall within the category of mental health issues. Anxiety can make it challenging to get through the day. Patients with anxiety may avoid activities such as work, school, family gatherings, and other social events.
It's simple to remember and apply the 333 rule for anxiety when anything is making you feel anxious. You must first recognize three items and three noises in your immediate area before moving three body parts.
