Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Anxiety is the body's alarm system running when there's no real danger present, racing thoughts, a tight chest, trouble sleeping, or a constant sense of dread that doesn't match what's actually happening. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves persistent, hard-to-control worry across many areas of life. We treat GAD with a combination of medication and therapy suited to how anxiety shows up for you.
What's the difference between everyday worry and GAD?
Generalized anxiety disorder tends to be harder to control, shows up even when nothing is obviously wrong, and starts interfering with sleep, work, or relationships.
Will I need medication, or is therapy enough on its own?
It depends on the person and severity. Many patients do well with therapy alone, especially for milder anxiety; others benefit from medication alongside therapy.
Do you treat anxiety in children?
Yes. Anxiety in children and teens is among the conditions we treat, and care is adjusted for age, often involving parents directly as part of the plan.
