Doctors can treat anxiety disorders with medicine or psychotherapy , or a combination of both.

Getting Help What should you do if you feel that your worrying is out of control? The first step is to talk to a parent or other adult you trust. You will probably need to visit a doctor. Your regular pediatrician is a good place to start. After that, you might visit a therapist or someone who specializes in anxiety disorders.

If you hurt your arm, you would go see a doctor for help. Getting help for mental problems is really no different.
