It is estimated that over 30% of Americans experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.
To some, anxiety may not seem like a big deal. The reality is that anxiety can be a debilitating condition that impacts an individual’s ability to complete day-to-day tasks, maintain relationships, and lead happy, healthy lives. When this anxiety goes unchecked, it can escalate into full-on panic attacks, in addition to other types of anxiety disorders. The most common types of anxiety disorders include:
- generalized anxiety disorder,
- panic disorder,
- social anxiety disorder

When anxiety becomes persistent, excessive, and interferes with daily functioning, it’s crucial to seek professional help. Mental health treatment professionals can provide individuals with an array of support that may include:

- Skill Development: Through therapy, you can learn valuable coping skills to manage anxiety symptoms and prevent them from escalating. These skills may include relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and problem-solving strategies.
- Improved Quality of Life: Effective treatment can significantly improve your quality of life by reducing anxiety symptoms, enhancing your mood, and restoring your ability to participate fully in daily activities.
