What supplements help seniors with anxiety?

My 72 year old mother has intense anxiety. What supplements help seniors with anxiety?

1 Answer

Generally speaking there are no supplements that really help with anxiety in an elderly patient. There may be sporadic reports of lavender, kava kava, green tea extract as helping with someones anxiety but there is no standard data that supports these claims. Generalized anxiety disorder usually requires medication to effect a good outcome.
