Is it necessary for someone with panic disorder and agoraphobia to be medicated like those who have bipolar or schizophrenia, or can it be helped via other methods? Is it even better not to medicate someone with anxiety? Thoughts?
If you suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and visit a doctor or psychiatrist – you are almost always going to be given a prescription for medication. This is simply because doctors don’t have much time and believe it to be the fastest solution to your anxiety problem.
Most doctors have the best intentions but simply do not spend all their time in finding alternatives for these chemicals that may cause many unpleasant side effects.
I am looking for the best person to go to, because I’ve got agoraphobia and I’m sick of it now. Whom should I visit ? Psychiatrist ? Psychologist ? Physio therapist ? Hypnoses ? Which one? If it’s none of the above, what do you consider best, for me to be completely cured ?
I want to be 101% free from agoraphobia again and start living the life I had before !
People having social anxiety disorders most of the times find themselves not having a peaceful life. People suffering from this condition can be plagued by fear of scrutiny, failure, rejection and even ridicule. These people move away from social situations and miss enjoying their lives to its fullest. The patients are often prescribed medications for social phobias anxiety to overcome the symptoms and continue with their lives. To make the symptoms at check, several levels of medication can be used to make a really big impact and this helps people to get their lives going on.
In many cases, depression can also be treated using the same medications used for social phobias anxiety. Two of the major anti-depressants used for treatment of social phobias are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor anti depressants.

I heard that the medication for panic disorder is unhealthy and brings side effects in the future. What kinds of side effects does it bring and how is it unhealthy?
1. ANTI-DEPRESSANTS:
Antidepressants may be prescribed because there is coexisting depression, but that’s not always the case. Although these medications were developed initially for depression, further research has shown that many help with anxiety disorders as well because of the roles the neurotransmitters play in anxiety disorders.
Usually, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other newer antidepressants are tried first, but older antidepressants — tricyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) — also may be used with success.
ANTIANXIETY MEDICATIONS: Antianxiety medications include the benzodiazepines and Buspar (buspirone). Antianxiety medications may be prescribed on their own or along with other medications, such as antidepressants.
