Suggest Treatment For Severe Anxiety Disorder
hi my name is sara and I was hoping you could give me some answers or advice. I get really bad anxiety when I am the passenger in the car and It gets so bad that I have to plug my ears and close my eyes so I don t see or hear anything and I start having trouble breathing and freak out and make myself sick and want to know if there is anything I can do to help with this?

Hello,
You can have claustrophobia like anxiety issue. The difficult breathing can occur due to anxiety induced panic attack. You need to be given cognitive behavioural therapy and counseling. The medication can be given but it will help little as compare to counseling. So I suggest you consult nearby psychiatrist for detailed counseling.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
