A misconception many anxiety sufferers seem to have is that if an anxiety treatment doesn't work for them, it's no good. While you are searching for that magic cure, you will come across such comments posted by other anxiety sufferers who think certain programs are a scam.

One anxiety treatment does not fit all. Just like one medication isn't right for everyone. It depends on your body's make-up, how you think, how you learn, and where you are in your condition. Don't be put off by negative comments. You cannot possibly know how your anxiety relates to theirs. They might have other underlying issues that are not related to anxiety. Or they could be more (or less) seriously affected than you.

There is so much to consider. That's why a doctor won't simply hand you the same medication someone else received without doing an evaluation of your particular case. It's the same with anxiety disorder.

Unfortunately, many anxiety sufferers don't receive adequate assistance or guidance from their doctors. You are better off speaking with a therapist or other specialist who's business it is to look at the mind and how it works. Medical doctors simply do not have the time to delve into all the things that can go wrong with the mind and in your case, anxiety and panic disorder.

You also need to evaluate various aspects of yourself, from your attitude and how you learn, to how well you adapt to changes in your life.

Are you the type to fight change? Does change cause you considerable distress? How do you approach your problems? Do you ask, "Why me?" or do you look for answers? Are you an avid learner who takes control of your life or do you just let life happen to you?

Listen to your thought patterns. Do you put yourself down all the time? Do you doubt your own ideas? A negative personality is detrimental to your recovery because you will doubt any treatment right from the start, before it even has a chance to work.

Next, look at your lifestyle. Do you keep busy or stay isolated? Are you a partier or a tea-totaller? Do you get sufficient exercise or are you a couch potato? Exercise is imperative to your recovery, even though you might think there's no connection. Exercise increases the endorphins in your brain. Those are the chemicals that give you a natural high. They stimulate your brain and make you feel good about yourself.

How do you feel about yourself generally? Are you happy or dissatisfied with yourself as a person? Many anxiety sufferers see themselves as lacking talent, skills, abilities and more. Their self esteem is usually low which is fed by the negative thinking.

As you can see, anxiety treatment goes well beyond buying an anxiety remedy you find online. You have to look at yourself as a whole being, not just as a person with an anxiety that needs fixing. Consider your entire self as discussed when looking for an anxiety treatment that works for you.

Once you begin treating your entire self, the anxiety treatment will begin to work. And as it does, you will begin to feel increasingly better about yourself.
