Answer to Question 1

Consulting a physician to rule out any organic causes of anxiety should be the first step for someone with debilitating chronic anxiety. If physical causes are ruled out, the next recommended step would be to consult an appropriate mental health professional for treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Cognitive behavioral therapy (one variation is called cognitive restructuring) is a short-term (generally 12 or 16 sessions in versions that use manuals to standardize the process) cognitively oriented therapeutic approach designed to challenge dysfunctional automatic thoughts, assumptions, and beliefs that sustain a particular disorder and to replace them with healthier realistic thinking patterns.
