Anxiety
Do you treat anxiety?
Anxiety is a disorder that can be caused by many things as well as come with co-existing conditions to make the anxiety worse. With so many different causes, treatment is not a straightforward decision and needs to be tailored to each individual. Since treatments that work for one person may not work for another, regular monitoring is required, and treatments may need to be changed if found not to provide an appropriate degree of relief.

Options to be explored can include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying, understanding, and changing behavior patterns and ways of thinking that are related to anxiety.
Dialectical behavioral therapy emphasizes mindfulness of a person’s life to enable them to understand their thoughts and actions while inside a situation.
Exposure therapy provides a safe environment to confront fears gradually. The ultimate goal is to eliminate fear by learning realistic ways to overcome it.
Group therapy allows the opportunity to not only share their experiences but to also provide support for patients who are going through the same things. Group therapy is especially valuable for patients with social anxiety or generalized anxiety disorder.
Hypnosis puts the patient into a very relaxed state to make them more susceptible to suggestions. When in this state, imagery or basic verbal suggestions are introduced to relieve some or all anxiety symptoms.
