Anxiety Care at Treat Mental Health

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is a common psychological problem that can manifest at different times and, in some instances, become an ongoing issue for a constantly stressed person worrying about their present and dreading their future. If you feel uneasy, scared, restless, and tense while your physical health also suffers – from rapid breathing and sweating to nausea and fainting – this means anxiety takes control of your mind and body, preventing you from carrying out your duties, enjoying your free time, and living a life free of psychological burden. It is tough to go through life feeling apprehensive and tense, which is why psychological help at a facility like Treat Mental Health is a smart choice.

What Causes Anxiety?

While every case is unique, it is possible to outline the main reasons for the majority of individuals to have an anxiety disorder:

Physical or mental abuse in the person’s past or present.
Going through a traumatic life event.
Accumulated stress caused by personal setbacks, professional troubles, or academic difficulties.
Social factors such as financial or political instability in the country in which the individual lives.
Spending time with anxiety-ridden family members and friends - although anxiety is not a genetic disorder, it is natural to be stressed when other people around you are nervous.

In many instances, it is difficult to pinpoint why a person is anxious – maybe they are dealing with a medical diagnosis that was recently confirmed or worrying too much as a result of turning to alcohol when they experience stress. Many people feel fine in the same or similar circumstances without mood disorders overshadowing their lives, which is why professional anxiety help is necessary for individuals who cannot cope on their own.

Recognizing the Signs of Anxiety

If you suspect you or someone you know well may need therapy to deal with their emotional struggles, be on the lookout for the following anxiety symptoms:

Mood Fluctuations

Sudden changes in how a person feels often indicate the presence of anxiety.

There is a roller coaster of emotions you may go through within a short period of time – first you feel elated, then you experience random sadness, and when someone asks you what is wrong, you respond with anger.

Treatment Approaches for Anxiety at Treat Mental Health

Private Anxiety Counseling

The main way to resolve your emotional distress is to talk one-on-one with a therapist ready to accept you with all your strengths and weaknesses – you will not have to worry about opening up to a specialist who is there to help you to get rid of your anxiety and lead a fulfilling life you deserve. During these sessions, you will learn coping mechanisms you can rely on while in therapy and when the aftercare period starts – you will be given the skills to face any fear without permanently consulting with another person.

Group Therapy

One of the best tactics to deal with anxiety is to share the experience with others – group sessions led by a therapist will give you a chance to reflect on your own emotions and relate to the hardships of others. Moreover, due to anxiety and related mental health issues many people feel lonely so an opportunity to make new friends who understand you on a deeper level than those who knew you before therapy will enrich your life.

Medication Management

Certain symptoms of anxiety cannot be eliminated by talking through your concerns or socializing with people – if it is not an early intervention, a patient may need extra help to recover. Anxiety medication carefully selected and prescribed by a mental health professional will correct the chemical imbalance in your brain, calm you down, and improve the ability to make safe and smart decisions that benefit you.

Family Counseling

While anxiety management can remain between the patient and their therapist, with the consent of the individual undergoing treatment, we can involve their family members in the process of recovery. If you want your family to break from habits that deteriorate your relationship or you need them to understand your mental health better, it can be therapeutic to have a counseling session with your loved ones – address the problems you used to keep to yourself and move forward as a more mindful and caring family unit.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

This type of anxiety therapy is a great solution for people who experience emotions very intensely and do not know how to cope with their feelings, whether it is their personal business or their reaction affects interactions with others. You will learn how to accept things you cannot change and avoid self-destructive patterns you might have followed in the past as a result of anxiety manifestations.

Exposure Treatment

Under the guidance of a qualified therapist, you will be able to roleplay any scenario that scares you and learn how to respond to it without stressing yourself further. For example, if you are worried about public speaking, you can prepare the speech and practice it with a counselor and your peers in a group setting and in a safe environment – they will show you how to work with the crowd and feel confident while you are delivering your message.
