If you have a lot of anxiety, it is treatable. Treatments include medication, talking with someone, or both. Treatment will vary depending on the type of anxiety you are experiencing.

Symptoms of anxiety can increase with alcohol use, substance abuse, and some medical problems. A thorough evaluation is best for undercovering the underlying causes of your anxiety and for getting you on the right path to feeling better.

Note: If there are long waits to be seen by a doctor - make an appointment as soon as you can, ask to be put on a cancellation wait-list, see if a nurse practitioner or another medical professional is available, and don't cancel your appointment (even if you are starting to feel better).
