People suffering from generalized anxiety disorder have excessive worry or anxiety symptoms for at least six months. They worry about everything, including their health, work, social interactions, and daily routine. An anxiety attack can lead to significant problems in their lives, including school, social interactions, and work.
Psychotherapists have the expertise and experience to diagnose clients properly. Psychotherapists can, for example, recognize ADHD symptoms and anxiety symptoms. However, they cannot prescribe medicine; psychiatric doctors are medical professionals with the proper knowledge and expertise for prescribing medications.

You may feel ready to stop therapy when you notice you have fewer issues to discuss. This usually leads to spacing out sessions for maintenance before eventually stopping.
In psychotherapy, therapists help clients by focusing on positive emotions, identifying strengths, creating stability, reducing future anxiety, and healing past traumas.
Initially, therapy is usually once a week to build trust. As progress is made, sessions may become less frequent, such as every other week or once a month.
