Mine has been more or less successfully controlled by antipsychotics, but you don't want to go there unless you have a mental illness that requires the use of antipsychotics. They're great things in the right circumstances, but not to be used lightly.
Even with those, it's never completely gone.
Having glucose in your blood is also normal, but too much of it is considered a serious illness requiring treatment.
Your argument makes sense however most physical ailments can only be treated by physical meams or with some time of medication - there's no way of talking your way out of them
Whereas for mental health issues such as anxiety, therapies such as CBT are ecidence-based. Anxiety is often based on an irrational fear (phobia) n by helping the client find out what this is will help stop or weaken the anxietu.
So for instance, A is extremely anxiouss. She has social anxiety but when did this start n what triggered it? Ler's say A had a huge panic attack in public. From then onwards she became anxious n it got to the point she was so frightened to talk to anyone, meet anyone or go in crowded places.
What's her thought process?
"I can't go in there to crowded."
"You're going to have a panic attack or you'll embarrass yourself it happemed before remember?"
As a result physical symptoms clammy hands, fidgeting, heart beats fast in chest.
Result. Will like go home.
CBT aims to challenge those thoughts in order to stop the anxiety. For ecample,
"I'm going to have a panic attack"
Rationalising: why are you going to have a panic attack?
"I had one last time I was here I know I'm going to have another one I know it"
Rationalising question: so how many times have you been here before the panic attack?
"Lots"
Rationalising so you've been many times n been fine n only one time had a panic attack? What makes you think the experience of the PA be repeated compared with so many experiences here where you were fine n never experienced a PA?
Obviously CBT is not as simple as that but it's an example medication such as SSRIs may help as a short term method but you really need to address the root cause of your anxiety in order to conquer it. Meds merely paper over the cracks.
Can I ask have you spoke to your doctor about this n asked them what s/he can do to help you?
Good luck
