Some of the most effective ways to manage anxiety fall into "self-help" techniques, and "therapist-guided" processes, both of which can be used at home or in the office. Self-help techniques include relaxation training, aerobic exercise, and worry management. While they are not the same as seeing a therapist adapt your plan, they can be very effective by themselves.
Anxiety is sometimes the result of a serious illness or is a symptom of an underlying health problem.

When someone is living with anxiety, it's straightforward for them to become their own worst enemy.
