Madam, iam having severe anxiety due to which I am feeling nervous through out day. I have some sleep disturbances as well. Plz guide me reg my condition.
Ans: Anxiety is a common condition, increasing in prevalence due to a fast and urban lifestyle. There are many anxiety reducing measures like, keeping a good routine, eating healthy, exercising regularly and ensuring the same time for sleep and waking up on a daily basis. Meditation/yoga/chanting are excellent practices to alleviate anxiety. In addition having a hobby one is interested in also helps. However if the anxiety is quite severe, medications may be necessary to control it for a few weeks while you can start instituting these measures. Once anxiety is in control and the lifestyle changes have been put in place, you can slowly reduce the medications.
