Which doctor should I see to treat anxiety?

July 15, 2010, 4:55 am
Question
I suffer severe anxiety during presentations and job interviews. I can also get a bit nervous (not really severe anxiety) when I meet some new people who are not like me (especially different age, different social class..). But I do get along with new people who are like me & who would fit into my friendship/social group. But the main problem is during presentaions and face-to-face interviews, and it is ruining my life. I've been to many interviews, but have never been able to land a job because of my anxiety. The jobs that I have gotten didn't involve any interviews. Who do I see to fix this.. a general GP? Psychiatrist? Psychologist? Therapist? Hypnotist? (Does hypnosis really work?) How do you know which one to choose? And where do you find them? Yellow Pages? How do you know if they're the right doctor? Any other advice would be much appreciated! Bag-A-Donuts mentioned PRN, what is this?
Answer
Who you see is dependent on how you want to treat your anxiety. A GP may be able to give you medication that can help until you see a psychiatrist. The GP likely won't give you stuff for PRN. You really won't want to take medication all the time if it is just specific situations that trouble you. A psychiatrist can help decide on proper medication. Again, if you take a PRN, then go on an interview, you may seem a bit "drugged up", or you could take meds all the time, but have to deal with some serious side effects. A psychologist can help you deal with your anxiety through relaxation and systematic desentization, but the drawback is it takes time. So the obvious answer is see a psychiatrist for meds to help right away, and a psychologist for long term gain.
