Can anxiety disorder be cured?
Anxiety disorder is generally considered a mental illness. Whether anxiety disorder can be cured depends on the stage at which it is diagnosed. If detected early, anxiety disorder can usually be cured; however, if discovered late, it may become more difficult to treat. When symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a qualified hospital. The details are as follows:
If anxiety disorder is identified early and the patient actively cooperates with medical treatment—such as cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments including regular sleep patterns, a healthy diet, and moderate exercise—most patients experience significant symptom relief. Some patients may even achieve full recovery and discontinue medication.
However, if anxiety disorder is detected late and the patient is unwilling to cooperate with treatment, the condition may worsen and develop into chronic anxiety, making it more difficult to cure.
In daily life, understanding and support from family and friends are also crucial for the patient's recovery.
