Question and Answer
Are anti-anxiety medications absolutely necessary? Is it possible, for instance, to cure repeated anxiety attacks without them?
If you are determined and self-reliant and the attacks are in their early stages, you may be able to overcome them without medications. Some anxiety problems definitely need medication; others don't. However, you will need to make some urgent and lifelong changes. In the long term, curing your anxiety is a matter of changing your susceptibility to stress. Without medication, it will take longer for you to achieve a cure, and you will run a greater risk of relapsing.
