Anxiety Disorders

 

Anxiety disorders are serious medical illnesses that affect approximately 19 million American adults.1 These disorders fill people's lives with overwhelming anxiety and fear. Unlike the relatively mild, brief anxiety caused by a stressful event such as a business presentation or a first date, anxiety disorders are chronic, relentless, and can grow progressively worse if not treated.

Effective treatments for anxiety disorders are available, and research is yielding new, improved therapies that can help most people with anxiety disorders lead productive, fulfilling lives. If you think you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek information and treatment.

 

This article will

  • help you identify the symptoms of anxiety disorders,
  • explain the role of research in understanding the causes of these conditions,
  • describe effective treatments,
  • help you learn how to obtain treatment and work with a doctor or therapist, and
  • suggest ways to make treatment more effective.

How to Handle a Compulsive Spouse

"There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best."
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Choosing the Right Therapist

Why is this choice so important?

  Therapy is a collaborative process, so finding the right match-someone with whom you have a sense of rapport-is critical. After you find someone, keep in mind that therapy is work and sometimes can be painful. However, it also can be rewarding and life changing.

If your child is “clinically depressed,” what can you do about it? And are you afraid ...  that the “cure” might be more dangerous than the disease? Clinical depression is a devastating and potentially dangerous level of depression that can actually lead to suicide in children and adolescents. The good news is that individual,  family therapy, and the use of certain anti-depressant medications, has shown great promise in helping kids recover from depression, and in reducing the rate of suicide.
