Both nondrug therapy and medication can be used to treat generalized anxiety disorder.
Supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and relaxation training are
examples of non-drug approaches. Patients with mild symptoms benefit from these methods. The
healthcare provider may want to begin pharmacological therapy if symptoms persist and cannot
be managed with nondrug treatment. To assist in the management of generalized anxiety
disorder, healthcare providers are able to prescribe both first-line and second-line medications.
