What Are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders affect many people and can show up in different ways. These disorders happen when worry or fear takes over daily life. There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves excessive worry about everyday things, even when there is no clear reason to be anxious. Social anxiety disorder causes an intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) includes repetitive thoughts and behaviors that feel impossible to control. Each type has unique challenges, but effective help is available at Psychiatric Connections. With our team as a guide, you don't have to face these feelings alone. Schedule a consultation today to explore solutions that fit your needs. Psychiatric Connections offers confidential telehealth sessions for clients in the western U.S., including Seattle, WA; San Diego and Los Angeles, CA; Reno, NV; and Phoenix, AZ, making it easier to receive care from the comfort of your home.
How Are Anxiety Disorders Treated?
Our mental health professionals can assess your symptoms and discuss your experiences to help identify the type of disorder and the best way to move forward. Treatment often includes therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common approach. It helps people recognize and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety. Medications, such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, can help balance brain chemicals. Lifestyle changes, like regular exercise and mindfulness practices, may also play a role in managing anxiety. With the right approach, it's possible to reduce symptoms and regain control over daily life. Psychiatric Connections provides tailored care plans that focus on individual needs.
What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders?
