Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your problem description. I suggest you not to worry too much. Your psychiatrist should have been determined what type of anxiety you have. Whether it is post stress anxiety or some other form like anxiety disorders.

If it is post stress anxiety, this should be cured before a month or so even without medication. But you need to be aware of the reason and get motivated often with the help your family members and friends. Otherwise, you might need continuous treatment with the psychiatrist along with psychotherapy and relaxation techniques.

You need psychotherapy and other cognitive behavioral therapies. I can help you through telephone. Please do contact me through customer care of www.healthcaremagic.com for a telephonic consultation session.

Hope this clears your doubts. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
