Anxiety is the most common type of mental health disorder - and there are many options for the treatment of anxiety attacks.
There is therapy - which may be group therapy, cognitive therapy, hypnosis, meditation and relaxation techniques - all these depend very much upon the skill of the therapist and the effort put in by the patient.
Prescribed medications are available - especially ones that overlap with the medication for depression - but these place one at high risk to harmful side effects.
Another option for the treatment of anxiety attacks is the use of herbs.
Many cultures around the world use herbal remedies to treat various diseases - anxiety treatment is a disorder that many people have successfully reduced the intensity of by taking herbal remedies.
Passionflower calms a person down, decreases hyperactivity, insomnia, anxiety and tension and lowers the blood pressure; it is also used to treat Parkinson's.
Lemon Balm is a restorative for the nervous system; it also calms the digestive system and decreases blood pressure levels.
Lavender is a relaxant and a commonly used stimulant.
Valerian is a painkiller and is used as a sedative to cure insomnia.
Besides these common herbs, there are many other lesser-known herbal remedies to counteract anxiety disorders.
One should remember, however, that everyone's constitution is unique, and not all treatment options will work on everyone.
Any treatment option is important for a patient of an anxiety disorder in order to lead normal healthy lives.
It is important, however, that one acknowledges one's disorder and the need for treatment - of whatever kind.
