Anxiety is a common mental health challenge that affects your mood. It can cause ongoing or extreme fear, worry, and anxious feelings that diminish your quality of life. The good news is that you don’t have to live with bothersome anxiety symptoms since numerous holistic treatments offer relief.
Anxiety symptoms vary from person to person, but the most common include:
You might have anxiety because of being in social situations or other everyday situations that don’t cause anxious feelings in many other people. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone, as anxiety is a common mental health issue. Depression often accompanies it.
The cause of anxiety isn’t known. However, your risk of having it may increase because of past traumatic experiences, a family history of anxiety, ongoing stress, and drug or alcohol use. While adopting healthy habits may decrease your chance of having a mental health disorder, you can’t always avoid anxiety.
Diana diagnoses anxiety after asking a series of questions about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, and medical history. She discusses your thoughts, emotions, and mood during a psychiatric evaluation and offers GeneSight® genetic testing to determine which medication regimen may be a match for your genetic makeup.
Diana offers numerous treatments for anxiety, including:
Lifestyle changes
Minimizing stress, eating nutritious foods, and getting regular exercise and quality sleep are common ways to keep anxious feelings at bay.
Medicines
Taking medications can relieve severe anxious symptoms, as well as depression, if you struggle with both anxiety and depression.
Therapy
Psychotherapy available at My Wellness Psychiatry teaches you ways to make behavior changes to better cope with bothersome symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders.
Diana takes into consideration numerous factors to develop the most effective anxiety treatment plan for your personalized needs. She often recommends more than one treatment to stabilize your mood and reduce the risk of complications. Diana monitors you throughout treatment to ensure success.
