Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat

Each anxiety disorder requires a unique treatment approach. Our psychiatrists are experienced in diagnosing and treating all types.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Persistent, excessive worry about various aspects of daily life - work, health, family, finances - that's difficult to control and occurs more days than not for at least 6 months.

Common Symptoms:

Constant worry and tension
Restlessness or feeling on edge
Difficulty concentrating
Sleep problems
Muscle tension
Fatigue

Panic Disorder

Recurring, unexpected panic attacks - sudden surges of intense fear that peak within minutes, causing overwhelming physical symptoms and fear of having more attacks.

Common Symptoms:

Racing heart or palpitations
Shortness of breath
Chest pain or discomfort
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fear of dying or losing control
Sweating and trembling

Social Anxiety Disorder

Intense fear of social situations where you might be judged, embarrassed, or humiliated. This goes beyond normal shyness and significantly impacts work, school, and relationships.

Common Symptoms:

Fear of being judged negatively
Avoiding social situations
Physical symptoms in social settings
Difficulty making eye contact
Fear of public speaking
Worrying for days before events

Phobias

Intense, irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or activities that poses little actual danger but provokes anxiety and avoidance behavior.

Common Symptoms:

Immediate anxiety when exposed to trigger
Avoidance of feared situations
Recognition that fear is excessive
Significant life interference
Physical panic symptoms
Anticipatory anxiety

Our Anxiety Treatment Approach

We use evidence-based treatments tailored to your specific anxiety disorder and individual needs.

Medication Management

Our psychiatrists prescribe and monitor anti-anxiety medications including SSRIs, SNRIs, and other targeted treatments. We carefully adjust dosages to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

  • SSRIs (Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac)
  • SNRIs (Effexor, Cymbalta)
  • Non-benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medications
  • Beta-blockers for performance anxiety

CBT Coordination

We coordinate with therapists trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the gold standard for anxiety treatment. CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and develop coping skills.

  • Identify anxious thought patterns
  • Challenge irrational beliefs
  • Develop coping strategies
  • Gradual exposure to fears

Comprehensive Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is crucial. We conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations to identify the specific type of anxiety disorder and any co-occurring conditions like depression or ADHD.

  • Detailed symptom assessment
  • Medical history review
  • Rule out physical causes
  • Identify co-occurring conditions

What medications are used to treat anxiety?

Common medications include SSRIs (Lexapro, Zoloft), SNRIs (Effexor, Cymbalta), and non-benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medications. We personalize treatment to your needs.

How quickly can I get an anxiety treatment appointment?
