Suggest Treatment For Generalized Anxiety Disorder With Panic Disorder

You need antidepressant therapy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
I think, you have generalized anxiety disorder with panic disorder. In that case, you should try some antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram with low dose benzodiazepine. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing. It would keep you calm and relax. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management.
Weight gain in your case could be due to stress or anxiety. In anxiety or stress, level of corticosteroid hormones increase and it could lead to weight gain. Nothing to worry about that. It would get controlled by medicine.
In case, you have further query, you can ask.

Just tell your doctor the symptoms and about family history of thyroid in your mother. If any one in family has any endocrinological disorder, then chances of getting the same increases up to 20%. In that case, your doctor would suggest you thyroid profile.
