Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal part of living.
Everyone has anxiety to varying degrees. It manifests physically as your heart beating fast, your face red and flushing, stomach roiling, hands shaking and clammy. It’s the feeling you get at the start of a roller coaster. But no one wants that feeling all day long. Or when socializing with others. Or simply when it stops us from engaging in everyday activities. So how do we judge when the anxiety we feel isn’t normal? It’s this uncertainty that keeps many patients from seeking help…
Anxiety manifests in a multitude of ways that are often not realized. For example, having low self-confidence or self-esteem and constantly beating yourself up over everything you do or say. Never sharing your opinions or emotions due to fear of ridicule or embarrassment. Avoiding situations that make you nervous, like dating and relationships. Getting caught in a spiral of negative thoughts that leave you feeling terrible about yourself. Feeling like you’re not loved or appreciated; just a burden to people. An inability to relax or lower your inhibitions. When something embarrassing or bad happens, you can’t stop thinking about it. Trouble falling asleep, trouble waking up, and feeling tired throughout the day. Obsessing over your mental condition. And many of our patients we treat first come in thinking they’re the only ones to feel this way. If they only knew!
Every person is unique with a different set of life experiences and hurdles. It’s why we carry out a thorough and detailed assessment to create an individualized treatment plan that helps alleviate the specific issues that YOU are facing. No cookie-cutter treatments here.

Understanding Anxiety
To understand anxiety, you must first grasp its underlying causes and symptoms. Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive worry, fear, and unease that can interfere with daily life. The causes of anxiety can vary from person to person, including genetic factors, brain chemistry imbalances, and traumatic experiences. There are different types of anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Anxiety can have a significant impact on daily life, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being. However, there are coping strategies that can help manage anxiety, such as practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in regular exercise, seeking support from loved ones, and considering therapy or medication if necessary. By understanding anxiety and implementing effective coping strategies, individuals can regain control and improve their quality of life.
Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety
If you frequently experience excessive worry, fear, and unease, you may be displaying signs and symptoms of anxiety. Common triggers for anxiety include stress, trauma, certain medical conditions, and substance abuse. Physical manifestations of anxiety can include rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, trembling, sweating, and gastrointestinal issues. Anxiety can greatly impact your daily life, causing difficulties in relationships, work performance, and overall well-being. Coping strategies such as deep breathing exercises, practicing mindfulness, engaging in regular physical activity, and seeking support from loved ones can help manage anxiety symptoms. However, if your symptoms persist and significantly interfere with your daily functioning, seeking professional help from a psychiatrist or therapist is recommended. They can provide you with a proper diagnosis and develop an individualized treatment plan to alleviate your anxiety.
Treatment Options for Anxiety
Empire Psychiatry offers a range of effective treatment options for managing anxiety. When it comes to medication options, there are various types of anti-anxiety medications available that can help alleviate symptoms. These medications are typically prescribed by a psychiatrist and can provide relief for individuals experiencing severe anxiety. Therapy techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), are also highly effective in treating anxiety. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Additionally, self-help strategies, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, can be useful in managing anxiety symptoms on a daily basis. Making lifestyle changes like getting regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, and getting enough sleep can also help reduce anxiety. For those seeking alternative treatments, options like acupuncture and herbal supplements may be worth exploring. Empire Psychiatry is committed to providing the best possible treatment options for individuals struggling with anxiety.

When you're ready to begin your journey towards healing from anxiety, it's important to take the first step. Overcoming stigma surrounding mental health is crucial in seeking support. Reach out to trusted friends, family, or professionals who can provide guidance and understanding. Building resilience is key in managing anxiety. This involves developing coping mechanisms and strategies to navigate through difficult moments. Identifying triggers is another important step in the healing process. By recognizing what sets off your anxiety, you can work towards managing and minimizing its impact. Lastly, practicing self-care is essential for overall well-being. Taking time for yourself, engaging in activities you enjoy, and prioritizing your mental and emotional health can greatly contribute to anxiety reduction. Remember, taking that first step towards healing is a brave and empowering decision.
