Meet Our Team Of Anxiety's Psychiatrists

Overview

Living with an anxiety disorder can be difficult not just for the individual but also their family members who also have to deal with the individual’s symptoms of anxiety on a day-to-day basis. However, when the family members do not understand the symptoms of an anxiety disorder, the way they react and respond towards the individual could make coping with the symptoms even harder for the individual. Family members can be emotionally over-involved with or be hostile toward the individual, end up unintentionally fuelling the individual’s anxiety by excessively accommodating to it or responding to it in a destructively critical manner. Family therapy can shed light on these unconscious and unintentionally behaviours and emotional reactions of the family members and help them learn newer ways of responding that benefit and improve the individual’s symptoms instead. In this way, the family can become a support system for the individual which enhances their recovery process. The individual as well as the family members may also be dealing with other situations and emotional distress in their lives which may be making the individual’s anxiety and quality of life worse. A family therapist can also help address and overcome that.
