“What is the most effective treatment for anxiety?”

Depending on the cause of your anxiety, for example, PTSD vs social anxiety or bipolar disorder, medication alone may be effective. However, working with a therapist to identify the cause and give you the most effective treatment plan is advisable. Prolonged Exposure Therapy is highly effective for most forms of PTSD for those that want to avoid medication, but isnt something that would help other mental health issues.
