Understanding Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Anxiety and panic disorders involve persistent fear, excessive worry, or sudden episodes of intense distress that can interfere with daily functioning. While occasional anxiety is a normal response to stress, chronic anxiety or recurring panic attacks may require professional psychiatric care.
Common anxiety-related conditions we treat include:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Panic Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Phobias
- Anxiety related to medical conditions or life stressors
Each condition presents differently, which is why individualized evaluation is essential.
