Anxiety Treatments & Therapies for Veterans
Anxiety
Treatment
No matter what you are experiencing, effective treatments and resources are available. VA offers treatment options that are proven to be very effective for most people, and many types of professionals at VA can treat anxiety.
Evidence-based therapies are among the most effective treatments for anxiety. They can include the following — which are in many cases available at a local VA medical center.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term treatment that helps Veterans understand the anxiety they experience and address distressful thoughts and feelings. This treatment may help expose Veterans to anxiety-inducing situations to help develop response prevention strategies. CBT is focused on identifying and neutralizing unhelpful thoughts and also confronting fears through the mastery of new skills.
