What are some signs that you have chemical imbalance in your brain and need medication due to anxiety, versus just having a force of habit anxiety and shyness that can be treated with therapy alone?

My hockey team is having it’s opening season practice tonight. I have some anxiety troubles, so my nerves are definitely messing with me.

So I have depression and anxiety. The anxiety is not far from cured, and I recently started Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the depression, and I have plans to exercise. I have also started socializing more. I just f**ing hate the DP.

I didnt want to take medication because I dont want to be dependent on a medication,.. but now Im 4 months pregnant and my anxiety has gotten so bad on most days I dont even leave my house and avoid talking on the phone to anyone. I know I can’t take any meds while Im pregnant but I was wondering if anyone has been in my situation, and can give me some tips to help ease the anxiety.

I was recently prescribed prozac and klonopin for depression and anxiety, i was wondering if it would be safe to use an average dose of adderal with the two, because i have a huge school project close ahead and i needed the motivation to get all the work done in one night. please, i need an educated honest answer or i’ll get really behind on this project. thanks.

i just started taking a new medication called buspar for my bad anxiety . dose it work well for this? i worry about being dirty alot . please answer.

Wondering how many people take pills for anxiety or depression.

I am 16 and I have really bad anxiety at school and what not, is their anything to help it . I cant get medicine yet :/

Today all I did was sign up the initial forms and my anxiety already overwhelmed me and nearly freaked out. I can’t let that happen of course when I start working. I see the psychiatrist Tuesday morning, I have orientation for work Tuesday night. However I can’t start my medicine until Thursday because I am on a sliding scale with the office as i have not had income or insurance and they will give me free medicine. How can I keep it together long enough to keep my job while waiting to get my medicine?

I have been asked to prepare a five to six minute talk on a subject that I am very experienced and confident in, so content isn’t the issue. I’d like advice on how to handle the nervousness and anxiety. I tend to get out-of-breath and dry mouth when nervous, and that’s just speaking in front of a small group!

im being serious. i have struggled with this for almost 5 years and im only 14 and i cant take any more of this. ive been to the psychiatrist and nothing changed. right now im taking zoloft and havent seen any changes. so how did you recover from your anxiety and panic disorder?
thank you so much!

If you travel back about a year and half into my life, I have not had much anxiety at all. However now, because of series of events, I have anxiety that is effecting my life alot.

Could CBT get my life like it was a year and a half ago? I have developed certain phobia and fear and have negative thoughts triggering me on certain occasions.

Can anyone care to share success stories?
Also is seeing someone a Psychologist better than a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for my situation?
