Can other treatments help me cope with a fear of mirrors?
Additional treatments may include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Mental health professionals use CBT to help you explore thoughts and feelings associated with mirrors. You also develop healthy alternatives to negative thoughts or behaviors.
- Medications: Taking medications does not cure eisoptrophobia. But antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can get you through a challenging time. If you start driving again and are anxious about rearview mirrors, medications can make using them less stressful.
- Stress reduction: These techniques help quiet your mind and relax your body. Yoga and meditation can help you become more in tune with your thoughts and feelings. This can reduce the likelihood of panic when you see a mirror.
