Everyone experiences stress and anxiety at some point in their lives, but when anxiety begins to interfere with your ability to function normally, you may have an anxiety disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 40 million American adults 18 and older – an astonishing 18.1 percent – suffer from an anxiety disorder in a given year. Anxiety also frequently goes hand-in-hand with depression or substance abuse.

Symptoms of an anxiety disorder can include:

  • Pounding Heart
  • Chest Pains
  • Shortness of Breath
  • Restlessness
  • Trembling or Shaking
  • Numbness or Tingling
  • Sweating
  • Lightheadedness or Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Trouble Sleeping
  • Headaches
  • Feelings of Unreality
  • Feeling Out of Control

If symptoms persist over time, for more than several weeks, you should seek advice from a trained professional. Many clients report symptom relief within a short time after starting treatment.

Our staff directors are available to speak with you by phone at no cost to assess whether further consultation or treatment is appropriate for you.
