Question: What is the best anti-anxiety treatment? Is Matcha tea good for you?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
The best treatment for anxiety is an SSRI medication such as sertraline (which you are taking). This is improved when combined with cognitive behavioral psychotherapy (CBT), which I strongly recommend you try. Matcha tea has never been shown in clinical trials to be better than placebo.
