For yourself or a loved one, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of anxiety, we aim to provide you with knowledge, resources, and compassionate care.

Anxiety is a common yet often overwhelming mental health condition that can significantly affect daily life. While occasional worry or stress is a natural part of life, anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive fear or apprehension that goes beyond typical stress responses. Recognizing the signs of anxiety and knowing when to seek help is essential to improving your well-being.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a mental health condition characterized by intense, excessive, and prolonged worry or fear that can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall quality of life. While everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, anxiety disorders occur when these feelings are persistent, disproportionate to the situation, and difficult to control.

Types of anxiety disorders include:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – Constant worry about various aspects of life, often without a clear reason

Panic Disorder – Sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort, often accompanied by physical symptoms

Social Anxiety Disorder – Extreme fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations

Phobias – Intense fear of specific objects, places, or situations

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety symptoms can vary from person to person, but they often include both emotional and physical signs.

Emotional Symptoms

Constant worry or a feeling of dread

Restlessness or feeling “on edge”

Irritability or mood swings

Cognitive Symptoms

Difficulty concentrating or focusing

Racing thoughts

Overthinking and worst-case scenario thinking

Physical Symptoms

Rapid heartbeat or palpitations

Shortness of breath

Sweating or trembling

Muscle tension or headaches

Sleep disturbances or insomnia

These symptoms can make it difficult to manage work responsibilities, relationships, and personal goals.

How We Diagnose Anxiety

We take a thorough, patient-centered approach to diagnosing anxiety, beginning with a confidential virtual evaluation. This includes:

• A detailed review of your medical and mental health history

• A structured anxiety assessment to measure severity and symptom patterns

• Screening for co-occurring conditions such as depression or PTSD

This comprehensive process allows us to accurately identify the type and severity of anxiety you may be experiencing and develop a personalized treatment plan.

GeneSight Testing for Anxiety

Finding the right medication for anxiety can sometimes involve trial and error. GeneSight testing helps by analyzing how your genes may affect your body’s response to certain psychiatric medications. With this information, we can select treatment options that are more likely to be effective and better tolerated, helping you feel relief sooner.
