Helping a Loved One or Family Member Get Treatment

While you may feel completely helpless, there are some things you can do to help your loved one learn to cope with his or her anxiety and go on to live a more worry-free life. Below are some suggestions you may find helpful:

A mental health professional can help teach your loved one the skills needed to control his or her anxiety and reduce the presence of distressing symptoms.
• Do not be judgmental or minimize your loved one’s feelings. Try to be supportive and patient with your loved one as best you can and remember that it can take time to for him or her to get his or her anxiety under control.
• Encourage your loved one to continue to engage in the treatment process. Help him or her remember to take any medication that is prescribed and to attend all of his or her therapy appointments.

Why Consider Treatment at Kansas Drug Rehabilitation

The presence of an untreated anxiety disorder can quickly begin to interfere with all areas of a person’s life, sometimes making it challenging to function appropriately on a daily basis. The presence of anxiety symptoms can prevent a person from adequately completing responsibilities at work, concentrating on daily tasks, and being able to establish and maintain interpersonal relationships. Some individuals may be unable to go certain places or, in some instances, are unable to leave their home at all. Additionally, it is common for individuals with anxiety disorders to develop additional mental health problems, such as depression, or a variety of physical illnesses including heart disease and respiratory problems. Furthermore, those with anxiety are at an increased risk for the development of substance abuse problems and suicide.
