Help for Caregivers

Helping someone with an anxiety disorder is not easy whether you're a friend, family member, or even a treatment provider. These resources are meant to assist the caregivers -- those who are an important part of the lives of people with anxiety disorders.
How to Help Someone With Panic Disorder
If you've found out that a friend or family member has panic disorder, you may be confused about how to help or even how to act with the person. Supportive friends and family are important to the person recovering from panic disorder. Here are tips for helping your friend or loved one build a solid support system.
Lending a Hand - For the Support Person
Many kinds of support are needed by and available to people with anxiety disorders. While many of us tend to rely on one person for support, the truth is that anyone who knows us and who knows we have an anxiety disorder potentially is a source of support. In order to recover fully, we should be prepared to ask for help and to help our support people do the best they can.
