ANXIETY TREATMENT
WHAT IT IS
TREATMENT
Anxiety disorders go beyond temporary stress — they create excessive worry, tension, and physiological symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. Chronic anxiety can affect mood, concentration, and the ability to relax, often leading to restlessness or avoidance behaviors.
Treatment may include:
- Evidence-based medication such as SSRIs or SNRIs to reduce anxiety and balance brain chemistry.
- Therapy integration that teaches coping skills and helps reframe anxious thoughts.
- Relaxation and mindfulness techniques to calm the body’s stress response and improve sleep.
- Structured care plans designed to build long-term emotional stability and focus.
