Conquer Anxiety with the Help of Psychiatry Connection

At Psychiatry Connection, we know everyone’s situation is unique; so we start by matching you with the right professional for your needs. Our providers cover many sub-specialties and most are fully-licensed physicians (MDs or DOs) who can prescribe medication but also use evidence-based psychoeducation to help you overcome your anxiety.

Psychiatry Connection also brings a whole-person focus, so we encourage our experts to take the time necessary to understand your medical and psychological history. Once you start your treatment plan, your provider also has access to a collaborative team of physicians and mid-level providers to offer more tips and insights for you. Real people offering a hands-on approach to care in a convenient telehealth environment, that’s the Psychiatry Connection difference.

Can my anxiety be so extreme it’s not treatable?

That’s rarely the case, but your severity and the type of anxiety will factor into your treatment plan. Our clinicians also go beyond assessing symptoms, and evaluate your full medical history to see if other medical or mental illnesses may be contributing to your anxiety.

Will my insurance cover my care?

Yes, our mission is to bring high-quality psychiatric care to everyone. That’s why we take most major insurance plans in your state, and the number of plans we accept only continues to grow!

How long does it take to overcome anxiety?

If medication is part of your treatment plan, it may take two weeks to a month to start to feel positive effects. Along the way, you will also be given long-term coping strategies and suggested lifestyle changes to support your medication regimen. Every case is unique, but symptoms can start to improve in weeks to months.

What Are the Symptoms of an Anxiety Disorder?

Anxiety triggers in stressful situations. While a certain amount of anxiety is quite normal, some symptoms are more severe. You may have an anxiety disorder if while under stress, you:

  • Feel restless and have a rapid heart rate
  • Are short of breath
  • Tremble and have muscle tension
  • Worry excessively and have difficulty concentrating
  • Experience poor sleep after a stressful situation
  • Feel on edge or tense
  • Avoid trigger situations that may cause the above symptoms

If you feel any of these symptoms to the point where it inhibits your daily function, consider consulting with a Psychiatry Connection professional.

What Types of Different Anxiety Disorders Are There?

Like other mental health concerns, there are actually quite a few different types of anxiety. Here are some of the most common ones.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

A constant feeling of being overwhelmed. With GAD, you often worry about everyday things like job responsibilities, daily tasks, personal health and can’t seem to get them out of your mind.

Agoraphobia

A fear of not being able to escape a situation or find the help needed. You may avoid unfamiliar places, large open spaces, crowds or places that you think are too far away from your home.

Panic Disorder

The regular occurrence of a panic attack, which is characterized as an intense fear that comes with physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath. These panic attacks often occur without warning.

Social Anxiety Disorder

An intense fear in social situations. You may often feel as though others are watching you and judging you negatively while rarely that’s the case. Social anxiety is far more than shyness and comes with a persistent worry about social situations.

Separation Anxiety Disorder

Anxiousness and fear as a result of separation from a loved one. It often occurs in babies and children but can also manifest in adults.
