Does Generalized Anxiety Disorder last for a lifetime?


I mean, is there a cure for that or people who suffer from it must take meds for all their lives?

It is not the same as Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia, which often require lifetime medications.

Anxiety is easier to treat. There are many methods:
talk therapy
hypnosis by certified clinician
EMDR therapy for trauma
art, sand tray, play-type therapies
relaxation & body therapies
cognitive therapies
covert cognitive therapies.

Over time, your anxiety can subside, and your need for meds lessen or go away. It's not *necessarily* a life sentence for meds!

Hello,
I have been an axiety sufferer for 2 years now and ive been taking meds for it.I hate it so much i could be fine for months then all of a sudden i will think im dying of something.My cousins who are sisters also suffered from similar symptoms but they have been managing it for a while now so i guess it can be managed without meds wish i could manage it lol.
