Anxiety Treatment

Personalized Care for Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a normal response to stressful situations, but when worry, fear, or nervousness becomes persistent or difficult to control, it can begin interfering with everyday life.

Anxiety can affect your work, relationships, sleep, concentration, and overall quality of life.

At TruYou Psychiatry, we take the time to understand what you're experiencing and work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your symptoms, needs, and goals.

What Are Anxiety Disorders?

Anxiety disorders involve more than occasional worry or nervousness. Symptoms may be persistent, difficult to control, or severe enough to interfere with everyday activities.

Some people experience constant worry, while others may experience sudden episodes of intense fear or anxiety related to particular situations.

Because anxiety can affect people differently, a thorough psychiatric evaluation can help identify what you're experiencing and determine appropriate treatment options.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Symptoms can vary from person to person and may include:

• Excessive or persistent worry
• Feeling nervous, restless, or on edge
• Racing thoughts
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability
• Difficulty sleeping
• Muscle tension
• Rapid heartbeat
• Sweating or trembling
• Shortness of breath
• Feeling overwhelmed or unable to relax
• Avoiding situations that cause anxiety

Anxiety can also cause physical symptoms, which is one reason it's important to discuss what you're experiencing with a qualified healthcare professional.

Types of Anxiety

Anxiety can appear in several different ways. Conditions may include:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations that can be difficult to control.

Panic Disorder
Recurring episodes of intense fear or panic that may occur unexpectedly and produce significant physical symptoms.

Social Anxiety
Intense anxiety or fear related to social situations, interactions, or being judged by others.

Phobias
Strong fear or anxiety associated with particular objects, situations, or activities.

Anxiety symptoms can also occur alongside other mental health conditions, including depression, PTSD, and OCD.

How Is Anxiety Treated?

Treatment depends on your symptoms, history, other health considerations, and individual needs.

Treatment options may include medication management, psychotherapy or counseling, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches.

At TruYou Psychiatry, treatment is collaborative. Your provider discusses your options, answers questions, and involves you in developing your treatment plan rather than simply telling you what to do. That matches TruYou's established approach of making the patient an active member of the care team.

Anxiety may affect your life, but it doesn't define who you are.

TruYou Psychiatry believes mental health recovery involves more than addressing symptoms alone. Physical health, home life, purpose, relationships, and community can all play a role in overall well-being.

Our goal is to understand the whole person and work with you toward improved mental health and a better quality of life.
