Can adolescent anxiety disorder resolve on its own?

Anxiety disorders during adolescence generally do not resolve on their own, so it is best to seek active treatment. Both psychotherapy and medication are recommended. In terms of psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, systematic desensitization therapy, as well as psychoanalytic therapy and family therapy are primarily recommended. Systematic desensitization therapy mainly consists of three steps:

The first step is to learn how to relax, such as through breathing exercises, muscle relaxation techniques, and self-hypnosis methods for relaxation；

The second step is to categorize your anxiety into different levels of severity；

The third step is to gradually relax according to your own level of tension, until your anxiety eventually subsides and is resolved.

For pharmacological treatment, benzodiazepines are primarily recommended, such as lorazepam, oxazepam, and diazepam. However, these drugs can be addictive, so it is absolutely essential not to take them in large doses for extended periods of time. Vitamins can also be taken for treatment, such as oryzanol and vitamin B1, which are all very effective.

In short, adolescent anxiety disorders are unlikely to resolve on their own, so it is best to seek treatment actively and proactively.
