Conditions we treat
Anxiety
Everyone feels anxious sometimes. Anxiety disorders are different: the worry or fear is persistent, hard to control, and gets in the way of daily life.
What it can look like
- Excessive worry that is hard to control
- Feeling restless, keyed up or on edge
- Muscle tension and trouble sleeping
- Irritability and difficulty concentrating
- Avoiding situations because of fear
- Physical symptoms such as a racing heart or upset stomach
Only a qualified clinician can make a diagnosis. Many of these experiences overlap with other conditions.
How we help
Anxiety disorders respond well to treatment. After a careful evaluation, your provider may recommend therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, or a combination, tailored to your goals.
All care at EKM Psychiatry is delivered by secure telehealth across New York.
