How can severe anxiety be treated?
human
I have been seeing my therapist for about 7 months & was recently diagnosed with severe anxiety, in the last few months I’ve self harmed a few times, I am however not suicidal. I opened up to her in our last session about the self harm, she kept telling me “you’re so worth it” I called her liked I normally do and left a message and she normally gets right back to me, I’ve called 4 times within the last 2 weeks and left voicemails with no reply. I feel like shes avoiding me since bringing up the self harm and I’m just really stressing about it..

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Self harm in a psychological is disorder is associated with depression and severe anxiety disorder. Usually anxiety disorder are treated with medicines, counseling and psychotherapy. I wish to know whether are you taking medicines ? Because management of severe anxiety through therapy alone may not be suitable. Please consult a psychiatrist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
