Suggest Treatment For Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Hi. I suffer from GAD anxiety and recently I have been having phobias or fears that I have swallowed inedible items. My brain goes from oh you need to clean that glass up , to oh you may have swallowed a piece . It is very annoying and I m not sure what causes it. If I loose something I think I swallowed it :( it s stupid but a fear. What is this all about?

Counselling, cognitive and behavioral therapy can be done with a psychologist.In case of persisting symptoms Antidepressants like Benzodiazepines should be used.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
