Feeling anxious from time to time is a normal part of life. It's natural to feel anxious before a job interview, a big presentation, or when facing a significant life change.
However, when feelings of anxiety become excessive, uncontrollable, and interfere with daily activities, it may indicate an anxiety disorder.
Psychiatry offers comprehensive evaluation and medical treatment for anxiety disorders. Your experienced Godwin Psychiatry psychiatrist is trained to diagnose and treat various types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.
Through a combination of evidence-based practices like medication management and lifestyle modifications, psychiatry can relieve your anxiety and help you regain control of your life.
Godwin Psychiatry takes a personalized approach to treating anxiety. Your psychiatrist tailors a treatment plan to meet your unique individual needs and preferences. Anxiety treatment is multipart and includes:
Before developing a treatment plan, your psychiatrist conducts a thorough assessment to understand the nature and severity of your anxiety symptoms. This usually involves a detailed review of your medical history, a physical examination, and testing.
In some cases, patients with anxiety disorders need medication to relieve their intrusive symptoms. Your psychiatrist prescribes the appropriate medication, carefully monitors medication usage, and adjusts dosages as needed to ensure optimal effectiveness and minimize side effects.
In addition to therapy and medication, making lifestyle modifications can help reduce anxiety symptoms. This may include incorporating stress-reduction techniques, such as mindfulness meditation and exercise, into your daily routine.
Godwin Psychiatry frequently refers patients for talk therapy with qualified specialists.
Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can help you identify negative thought patterns. In addition, therapy can teach you new anxiety prevention techniques and coping strategies to manage your anxiety effectively.
Throughout your treatment journey, Godwin Psychiatry provides ongoing support and guidance to help you achieve your treatment goals. During regular follow-up appointments, your specialists monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, and address any concerns you may have.
