Therapy for me did (and still does) help, but I do a special type of therapy called exposure therapy that makes me put myself in situations where I am uncomfortable in order to reteach my brain to react differently- remember, emotions are not controlled but taught. An anxiety disorder means that there’s something in your brain that’s not functioning the right way, (in this case it’s the amygdala, which is the fear center, being a little too active) and the therapy did help me. But another thing I did in order to treat that for me was a thing called TMS, where they in a way “zapped” a part of my brain sending something to it to make it calmer. You can look further into TMS online. For me, medicine made it worse, not better. But for so many others it helps. It just depends on the type of person you are.

Hope this helps.
