Anxiety score - CBT or meds

[ALO1234]

So I recently requested a gp appointment for anxiety. They referred me to CBT talking therapy who did a questionnaire and assessment and my anxiety score was 19 (severe category) and the depression was at 15. Has anyone else had these done and either done CBT or medication?

Or could you go for both? Give it a try and see how you feel. I would imagine that long term you might need something more like counselling but perhaps just take everything offered for now and go from there.

I did both. The meds give you a leg up to be able to implement things suggested in therapy, or at least that's how it was for me.
