Anxiety Support Groups in Texas

Anxiety is a common human feeling that people often experience before a major event such as an exam. However, feelings of fear and nervousness without a catalyst or reason for them are signs of an anxiety disorder. There are several different types of anxiety disorders such as panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders and general anxiety disorders. While treatment is available through medication and professional therapy sessions, support groups can also be helpful and a source of comfort. The following groups reside in Texas.

Recovery International

• Recovery International is a support group that meets on Tuesday morning where the members use the "recovery method," to deal with feelings of anxiety and panic. According to the official website of Abraham Low Self Help Systems, "The Recovery International Method is a system of cognitive-behavioral self-help techniques for controlling behavior and changing attitudes." Thus, this support group may seem to have a more structured format and strategy for confronting anxiety.
