Anxiety disorders can disrupt your life, so it is important to get treatment. Depending on your exact diagnosis and your preferences, you and your doctor may decide upon a number of different treatments. Medication, including antidepressants, SSRIs, MAOIs, tricyclics, beta blockers and anti-anxiety medications, can help you better manage your symptoms, although it won't cure your anxiety disorder. Psychotherapy, especially cognitive behavior therapy, is often needed to actually treat your disorder.
