Can we prevent anxiety?


Can we prevent anxiety?

We may not be able to prevent anxiety disorders, but we can learn to reduce the risk of an attack, learn ways to control anxiety and ways to make the symptoms less severe.

Healthy diet. Reduce caffeine products. Check over the counter drugs or herbal supplements because they may contribute to anxiety.

Exercising regularly. There are relaxation exercises including deep breathing, yoga, tai chi, etc.

Get adequate rest, a regular sleep pattern is important.

Alcohol in moderation, avoid illegal drugs.

Meditation. Mindful living, live in the present.


Seek counseling and support to improve interpersonal skills when dealing with anxiety at work or with people. Seek parenting skills training if children are the cause of your anxiety. Counseling can help you after a traumatic or disturbing experience.
