Anxiety is part of being human, but when it becomes persistent, that’s a problem. In fact, it might be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders affect how someone thinks, feels, and functions. At Thrive Health, we provide telehealth care that blends evidence-based anxiety therapy with functional medicine to help clients in California, Texas, and New York address the root cause of their issue.
A Brief Look at Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders can look different for everyone. Some common ones include:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
This type of anxiety involves ongoing worry and tension that interferes with sleep, focus, and other activities. Often, there is not a specific trigger—thus, “generalized.”
Panic Disorder
If you experience sudden, intense episodes of fear that feel physical, including rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath, you may be dealing with panic disorder. These panic attacks can be managed with therapy and medication.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Does your anxiety only rear its head when you meet someone new? Fear of social situations, often accompanied by self-consciousness or avoidance, is a symptom of social anxiety disorder.
Phobias
A phobia is an intense fear of a specific object, situation, or experience. Common phobias include heights, spiders and other insects, small spaces, the ocean, and germs.
Anxiety can become a major challenge for adults and children alike, but investing in early support prevents symptoms from becoming more disruptive.
