Effective management of symptoms and stressful thoughts.

Anxiety disorders are most commonly due to past traumatic experiences that affect a person even after the situation has been averted. Individuals who have this condition often experience anxiety due to the fear of a coming threat or fearful experience even if these things are not conventionally threatening. Some common signs of an anxiety attack are hyperventilation, having difficulties in concentration, shortness of breath, and rapid heart rate.

We offer treatment for the following:

  • Generalized Anxiety
  • Panic Disorder
  • Social Anxiety
  • OCD
  • Separation Anxiety

What Exactly Are Anxiety Disorders?

Anxiety disorders go beyond occasional worry or fear. While it’s normal to feel anxious before a big event or during stressful times, anxiety disorders involve persistent and excessive fear or worry that interferes with daily life. These disorders can manifest emotionally, physically, and even behaviorally.

For example, someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder may feel a constant sense of worry without any obvious trigger. In contrast, someone with Panic Disorder might experience sudden and intense episodes of fear known as panic attacks. These episodes often come with physical symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath—mimicking serious medical conditions.

Why Do Anxiety Disorders Happen?

There isn’t a single cause of anxiety disorders. In many cases, anxiety develops from a combination of factors, including:

  • Traumatic life events such as accidents, abuse, or sudden loss
  • Family history of anxiety or other mental health conditions
  • Ongoing stress from work, school, or relationships
  • Underlying health issues like hormonal imbalances or chronic illnesses
  • Personality traits, including being highly sensitive or perfectionistic

Sometimes, anxiety may seem to appear out of nowhere. Even when there’s no obvious reason, the symptoms are very real and deserve attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell the difference between normal anxiety and an anxiety disorder?
Feeling anxious occasionally—like before a test or job interview—is normal. If anxiety becomes constant, interferes with daily life, or leads to panic attacks, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder.
Can anxiety disorders go away on their own?
In some cases, mild anxiety may improve with time and self-care. However, untreated anxiety disorders often persist or worsen. Professional help is recommended for lasting relief.
Are anxiety disorders linked to physical health problems?
Yes. Chronic anxiety can lead to headaches, digestive issues, heart palpitations, and fatigue. It can also worsen conditions like high blood pressure and insomnia.
What lifestyle changes can help manage anxiety?
Regular exercise, good sleep habits, a balanced diet, and reducing caffeine or alcohol can significantly help manage anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness practices and journaling are also effective.
Is medication always necessary for treating anxiety disorders?
Not always. Some people respond well to therapy alone, while others benefit from a combination of therapy and medication. Treatment plans should be individualized based on each person’s needs.
