Anxiety treatment is the most common of emotional disorders, and present with vast range of different forms and symptoms, which include overwhelming feelings of panic and fear, intrusive memories and thoughts or physical symptoms such as muscle tension, increased heart rate, and feelings of nausea and abdominal pain.
Anxiety disorders commonly occur along with other mental or physical illnesses. For some people, anxiety can become excessive. It can become difficult to manage, and it may negatively impact day-to-day living. There are a wide variety of anxiety disorders, and our team works collaboratively to help identify goals and manage symptoms as part of an integrative, comprehensive treatment plan.
