Compassionate, evidence-based anxiety care available via telehealth across Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, and more, or in-office at our psychiatric clinics.
An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition that involves persistent, excessive fear or worry that interferes with daily life. While it is normal to feel anxious in stressful situations, anxiety disorders go beyond temporary stress and can affect how you think, feel, and function on a daily basis.
Common forms include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. These conditions can cause both emotional and physical symptoms, making it difficult to relax, focus, or feel in control.
Anxiety disorders are not a personal weakness or something you can simply “push through.” They are complex conditions influenced by brain chemistry, genetics, and life experiences. With proper diagnosis and care, most people can successfully manage symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
Symptoms of anxiety disorders can vary from person to person and may range from mild to severe. In many cases, symptoms are persistent and interfere with daily activities.
Constant and uncontrollable thoughts about everyday situations or future events.
Feeling on edge, tense, or unable to relax for extended periods.
Ongoing mental and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and worry.
Trouble focusing or making decisions due to racing or intrusive thoughts.
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless sleep.
Chronic tightness or discomfort, often in the neck, shoulders, or jaw.
Physical symptoms that may occur during periods of intense anxiety or panic.
Avoiding certain situations, places, or interactions that trigger anxiety.
Anxiety disorders include several distinct conditions, each with unique triggers and patterns. Our psychiatric providers are experienced in diagnosing and treating all major types.
Ongoing and excessive worry about everyday life, often without a clear cause.
Recurrent panic attacks that involve sudden, intense fear and physical symptoms.
Fear of social situations, often linked to concerns about judgment or embarrassment.
Intense fear of specific objects or situations such as heights, flying, or animals.
Fear or distress when separated from loved ones or familiar environments.
Anxiety frequently occurs alongside depression, PTSD, ADHD, or substance use disorders, requiring a comprehensive treatment approach.
Anxiety disorders do not have a single cause. They typically develop from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
A family history of anxiety can increase the likelihood of developing similar conditions.
Imbalances in neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine can affect mood and anxiety levels.
Past trauma, major life changes, or ongoing stress can trigger or worsen anxiety symptoms.
Certain health issues, including chronic illness or hormonal imbalances, may contribute to anxiety.
Substance use
Alcohol, caffeine, and drug use can increase or worsen anxiety symptoms.
Lifestyle Factors
Poor sleep, high stress environments, and lack of support can increase vulnerability.
