Anxiety disorder diagnosis

Our team is skilled at evaluating and treating anxiety disorders. Sometimes anxiety may be related to health concerns or medications you are taking. Anxiety disorders may also occur alongside a diagnosis of depression

Anxiety disorder treatment and therapy

Research shows that anxiety disorders are best treated with a combination of psychotherapy, or “talk therapy”, and medication. Talk therapy may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and counseling on stress management techniques. Our team may also recommend lifestyle changes, meditation, yoga, or other practices to help reduce or manage your symptoms.

Anxiety, worry, and fear are common and normal emotions that everyone experiences on occasion. But sometimes, anxious feelings can grab hold of you and not go away. Or, they can worsen over time.

If you feel like you cannot escape your anxiety, or that it is interfering with your day-to- day activities, job, school, or relationships, it is time to seek help.

Types of anxiety disorders

There are several types of anxiety disorders, each associated with a variety of symptoms:

• Generalized anxiety disorder, characterized by overwhelming anxiety and worry for weeks or months at a time
• Panic disorder, characterized by recurring, sudden periods of intense fear
• Social anxiety disorder, also called “social phobia”, characterized by fear in social or performance-related settings
