We live in troubled times, from personal issues to world crises,
economic challenges to challenging relationships. Stress has become a common
part of our everyday lives. Some individuals manage to cope and keep things in
healthy perspective. For others, these challenges can result in unhealthy
reactions like anxiety, depression, and even alcohol abuse. However, it's often
hard to judge when normal feelings of worry, fear, and stress cross the line
and become a serious condition that impacts both your emotional and physical
health. With proper evaluation, anxiety disorders are treatable. Through
medication or psychological therapy, or both, they can be brought under
control.
The good news is that there are real solutions to these serious
issues. Understanding why someone is anxious, depressed, or abusing alcohol is
the first step. Knowing the treatment options—both medical and therapeutic—is
critical to resolving these difficult problems. If you have ever suffered from
depression or been close to someone who has, you know that this illness cannot
be wished away or relieved at will. Depression can have enormous depth and
staying power, but there are a variety of medications and treatments that
provide real help. A recent study showed that for those who stuck with
treatment, depression lifted completely in seven out of 10 people, and others
experienced relief of many symptoms. But discovering which treatment options
work best requires knowledge and perseverance.
