The family plays an important role in the recovery of a person with an anxiety disorder. Ideally, the family should be supportive but not help perpetuate their loved one’s symptoms. Family members should not trivialize the disorder or demand improvement without treatment.They must be considerate to solve that problem.
People with anxiety disorders are benefited from joining a support group and sharing their problems and achievements with others. Internet chat rooms can also be useful in this regard, but any advice received over the Internet should be used with caution, as Internet acquaintances have usually never seen each other and false identities are common. Talking with a trusted friend can also provide support, but it is not a substitute for care from a mental health professional.
Since caffeine, certain illicit drugs, and even some counter cold medications can aggravate the symptoms of anxiety disorders, they must be avoided.
