Therapy for Anxiety.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives, often in response to stressful stimuli such as everyday stressors, academic pressure, and life transitions.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety can be characterized as a general sense of worry or unease. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can be distinguished from normal anxiety and worry by its longevity and generalized nature. People with GAD experience excessive anxiety on more days than not for a period of six months or more. Their anxiety usually encompasses a wide range of issues rather than a specific matter. GAD is marked by uncontrollable worrying and at least three associated physical symptoms (e.g. muscle tension, irritability, and sleep deprivation). GAD is treatable with a variety of therapies, including psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy which are often used in conjunction with each other.
