I work in a psych hospital. If u really think u have anxiety, go to klinik kesihatan and get a ref letter to nearest psych hospital and u will get more proper treatment. Do not go to normal GP as most of them might start u on alprazolam (xanax) which works like magic. BUT xanax is not for long term use as u might become dependant on it and it is doing more harm than good. Proper treatment for anxiety disorder is antidepressant and there are actually many types of them which can only be found in psych hospital. In this case, it is advisable to see a professional in order to treat u properly. There are some other ways beside medication such as relaxation technique and counselling. Can also seek treatment from private psych but the med will be very expensive. So the best is to see doctor in psych hospital. I am telling u this because we got lots of referral from private just because pt cannot afford to pay their med anymore...

Hey there. Thanks for the heads up. I stop taking antidepressant because a doctor says to me that it'll fcked up my nerve systems. And that freaks me out. But after you saying that antidepressant helps to fight anxiety in the long run i might try to get back on them. Sometimes im confused. This doctor says this and the other says that.

But thanks anyway.

Hence seek treatment from the specialist. Medical is a big field, not all doctor are familiar with all the diseases and treatment in details...
