ANXIETY

While occasional worry is part of daily life, anxiety that is excessive, persistent, and disruptive may require professional evaluation and treatment. Interventional Psychiatry Group provides evidence-based, compassionate care for many types of anxiety disorders.
 
What are anxiety disorders?


Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and agoraphobia.

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves excessive, hard-to-control worry about daily activities, often with restlessness, fatigue, irritability, muscle tension, or sleep disturbance.
  • Separation Anxiety Disorder features intense distress about being apart from attachment figures beyond developmentally appropriate ages.
  • Specific Phobias involve strong fear of particular objects or situations (e.g., flying, heights, animals), causing avoidance and distress.
  • Social Anxiety Disorder includes extreme fear of negative evaluation in social settings, often leading to avoidance or enduring situations with intense anxiety.
  • Panic Disorder involves sudden, recurrent panic attacks with symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, and fear of losing control.
  • Agoraphobia features fear of situations like public transport, crowds, or leaving home, often leading to avoidance.
