Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is your body’s alarm system — useful in small doses, exhausting when it won’t turn off. For some people that shows up as a knot of worry that never fully loosens. For others it’s sudden, physical panic that seems to come out of nowhere. Either way, when anxious thoughts start crowding out everyday life, it’s worth talking to someone.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the country — and many options for treatment are available. With the right combination of support, many people see real relief within weeks, not years.

Signs & Symptoms

What anxiety can look like

Everyone experiences anxiety differently. You may benefit from talking to a provider if you have any, or a combination of, the symptoms below.

Emotional & Mental

  • A sense of dread that doesn’t match the situation
  • Racing thoughts that are hard to redirect
  • Trouble concentrating on anything besides the worry
  • Irritability or feeling constantly on edge
  • Avoiding places, people, or situations out of fear

Physical

  • Rapid heartbeat or a pounding chest
  • Shortness of breath or a tight throat
  • Sweating, shaking, or muscle tension
  • Upset stomach or nausea
  • Trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

Common Causes & Risk Factors

What contributes to anxiety

Anxiety rarely has a single cause — it’s usually a mix of biology and circumstance.

  • A family history of anxiety or other mental health conditions
  • A brain chemistry prone to be more reactive to stress
  • A difficult or traumatic experience, especially earlier in life
  • A major life change or ongoing stressor — grief, illness, a job loss
  • Heavy caffeine or alcohol use
  • An overlapping condition like depression
  • Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid problems
  • Withdrawal from alcohol, caffeine, or certain medications
How We Treat It

A plan built around you

Most patients do best with a combination of psychiatric medication management and talk therapy, tailored to their symptoms and goals.

Therapy

Talk therapy & counseling options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Intended to help you notice anxious thought patterns and replace them with more realistic, manageable ones.
General talk therapyA supportive space to help you work through what’s driving the anxiety day to day.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)Intended to help you heal from emotional distress and symptoms caused by disturbing life experiences and/or trauma.
Psychiatric Medication Management

Common psychiatric medication options

When medically appropriate, medication may help take the edge off enough for therapy and daily life to both get easier.

SSRIsOften the first choice for ongoing anxiety; taken daily and typically most effective after several weeks.
Short-term optionsMedications used sparingly for acute anxiety or panic, when a provider determines they’re medically appropriate.
Your provider will walk you through medically appropriate options, timelines, tradeoffs and any required lab work before you start a medication.

Frequently asked questions

Not necessarily. Many patients use medication for a defined stretch while they build coping skills in therapy, then taper down with their provider’s guidance. Others benefit from staying on it longer — it’s a conversation you’ll keep having with your provider, not a one-time decision.

Stress usually has a clear source and eases once the situation resolves. Anxiety disorders tend to stick around, show up even when nothing is obviously wrong, and start interfering with work, sleep, or relationships. If that sounds familiar, it’s worth getting evaluated.
