Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
everytime i'm in a situation where i'm away from my close family, for example staying at a friends house i get very anxious to the point where i have to leave, i would like to go travelling in the next few years without family how can i prevent this anxiety?
The symptoms that developing anxiety in situations when away from family or familial places is most likely due to agoraphobic anxiety. Usually in agoraphobia individual perceives unfamiliar things as potential danger or anxiety provoking. It causes significant distress and may result in precipitation of panic attacks. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for treatment of such symptoms. In anxiety medicines like SSRIs are commonly used. Commonly used medicines are SERTRALINE, ESCITALOPRAM, PAROXETINE, FLUOXETINE etc. For sever anxiety situations for relief of symptoms medicines like PROPRANOLOL, ETIZOLAM etc can be used. Apart from that BEHAVIOR THERAPY also have excellent results in anxiety.
Thanks, hope this helps you.
Take Care
