Yes, CBT is an effective way to deal with it but some patients may need medications such as SSRIs too. However, if a person is not willing to take SSRIs or other medications, there are multiple therapy techniques that can help with managing anxiety. Usually, it takes a few weeks to get it under control but Illness Anxiety Disorder is definitely treatable. You'll need a detailed psychiatric interview to establish the diagnosis and a suitable management plan can be devised accordingly.

Anxiety is very manageable and it should not cause extra pain and stress, but unfortunately it does. Yes , CBT is very effective for anxiety treatment, along with psycho education. A good mental health clinician can help the patient to get better using evidence based interventions. Please book appointment and I can help you through this.
