Anxiety

Everyone feels anxious sometimes. But when worry becomes persistent, difficult to control, and starts interfering with work, relationships, or sleep, it may be an anxiety disorder — the most common category of psychiatric conditions in the United States.

Anxiety disorders are highly treatable. With the right combination of care, most people experience meaningful relief.

Anxiety can make ordinary tasks feel overwhelming — answering emails, driving, attending social events, or making decisions.

Over time, untreated anxiety often narrows life: people avoid more situations, sleep worse, and may develop physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach problems.

A thorough evaluation distinguishes anxiety disorders from medical conditions and other psychiatric conditions that can look similar.
