How Can Irrational Fear And Anxiety Be Managed?

my dad is recently facing alot of trouble regarding a fear in his mind. He is always afraid mentally of somethings. He recently is having a breakdown on an issue I have been facing. I have recently loged a Police complaint about a person who have cheated me in business in monetary terms. He is so much afraid in his mind that the person or Police themselves (for no reason) will cause harm to me or him. In any case that is not possible but he always faces this mental condition regarding fear and everything. He is a normal person but whenever he gets in to this condition, he starts acting abnormally doing things which he doesnt do more often. Hides himself in a corner of the house, remains silent for all day thinking all the negative thoughts. I am also in a deepest depression because of this. Please give me a solution. Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The treatment of anxiety and irrational fear is often accomplished with use of medications and psychotherapy. As you might be aware no two patients are similar and often complete assessment is required before starting the treatment.

In my opinion you need to take him to a psychiatrist for complete assessment and treatment. This will help him to open up and get complete or near complete recovery.

Hope I have answered your query.
