How to cure anxiety?5 answersThe treatment of anxiety can involve various approaches. Pharmacotherapy options include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), benzodiazepines, and agomelatine. Novel products such as ketamine, psilocybin, and cannabidiol are also being explored for their efficacy in treating anxiety disorders. Psychological therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have shown to be effective, with other therapies such as mindfulness-based intervention, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy being tried but not proven superior to CBT. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have shown promise for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD). Internet and mobile-based interventions have also demonstrated comparable efficacy to face-to-face therapy. Additionally, traditional medicine has explored the use of natural remedies such as Securidaca longepedunculata roots for their anxiolytic properties.
