Would medical marijuana be effective at treating anxiety mostly Social Anxiety? I hear the indica type has some interesting effects that could help me relax?

I am seventeen and currently in high school. I have social anxiety and have frequent panic attacks. I need to have coping methods in place so I do not fully rely on my medicine which is currently not having any effect anyway. I am aware that what helps people with anxiety is different for everyone, but I would like some ideas of coping methods if possible. I am trying to collect a list of them to try next time I have a panic attacks to find out what works and such.

How long, or how many sessions, did it take your psychiatrist to diagnose you with anxiety?
Did your psychiatrist quickly start you on medicine?

The reason im asking is that i go back to school at the end of august. i recently found a new psychiatrist after not going to one for 2 years. The new psychiatrist now has to diagnose me himself (the previous psychiatrist had diagnosed me with General Anxiety Disorder G.A.D., social anxiety, and panic attacks). The problem is, the new psychiatrist only has appointments on Wednesdays which means i will only be able to see him for a total of 6 sessions before i go back to school. Is 6 sessions enough time to get a diagnoses and begin medicine treatement?

thanks for your input

If not, which medication works best for social anxiety?
I also have inattentive ADHD

I have chronic generalized anxiety & also social anxiety, sometimes panic attacks. I’m constantly tense, in a blank frame of mind & disconnected from my feelings/emotions. I’ve even been diagnosed as schizophrenic since I suffer from some of the symptoms of it.

I’m already seeing a therapist & I’m under the care of psychiatrist and the progress is really, really slow. I’m wondering if there’s any way I can speed up my recovery. Any tips are appreciated!

Thanks

My anxiety is really horrible. Especially my social anxiety.
I’m in therapy, and every time I ask a doctor about it, they give me anti depressants or tell me my anti psychotics should help me with my anxiety. (I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder last year).
And I take them, but nothing has ever helped me with my anxiety at all.

How do I get my doctor to listen to me?

It started off with social anxiety. Then I started having panic attacks because of my social anxiety. It has snowballed. I’m just looking for some answers on how to deal with this. It’s really starting to bother me ALL the time. Thank you!

What other things happen when you have social anxiety

I’ve already tried Valerian root, Melissa, passionflower, L-theanine and kava kava but non really showed any real result beside the placebo effect really and I’ve heard bout St John’s wort but i heard it can take about a month for it to start taking effect and some people say it doesn’t work at all just like the others. So do anyone know a nonprescription medicine for social anxiety that really works effectively?

I have really bad anger issues and social anxiety, and depression problems. I used to be on meds but I’m not anymore, and the symptoms are back. Im 20 and I cant be depending on my mom for rides. How can I take a bus or train without having a panic attack? People think I’m lazy because I only want rides, it angers me because that is not the case at all. Please help.

I took roaccutane and holistics say this is the cause for my anxiety and depression.. ihave been to some scary forums where people have developed psychiatric conditions because of it.

and their is roaccutane science as well if you google it..is this true? I developed panic attacks and social anxiety and depression and generalized anxiety after taking it…could it be the fear of what I read or is their proof? I took it 4 years ago and still suffer.

I have been on and off of citalopram for a year for depression and mood swings. It helps, but I wanted to get off of it. Are there any supplements that help with mood swings and depression. I do take a multivitamin. I also suffer from social anxiety and take valium off and on. I don’t take them everyday. Are there any supplements that I could take besides valium? Thanks.

I was diagnosed with social anxiety and I am filling out this health questionnaire for college. One of the questions it asks is if I’ve ever been diagnosed with a panic disorder. Is social anxiety a panic disorder? or just an anxiety disorder?

I have suffered from acne since my freshman year of high school. I am now a sophomore in college and still suffer from it. I’m afraid to be social. I went to counseling at school to try and treat my social anxiety but I really don’t see the point of continuing sessions with my therapist because no matter how hard I try to socialize my acne causes me to be quiet. Is it possible for acne to be such a problem?
