WHY IDCC?

Some physical health conditions, such as an overactive thyroid or low blood sugar, as well as taking certain medications, may worsen an anxiety disorder. A thorough mental health evaluation is important as anxiety disorders often coexist with other related conditions, such as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

IDCC’s expert mental health professionals use evidence-based methods to evaluate and diagnose anxiety disorders. Our clinicians are informed of the most recent developments in the research of anxiety disorders and work with scientifically proven treatments. IDCC’s compassionate clinicians and mental health professionals listen to your concerns to thoroughly understand your concerns, health issues and experiences with anxiety to create a treatment plan suited to your needs.

There are various treatment options for treating anxiety disorders including some of the following. Talk Therapy or psychological counseling involves working with a therapist to reduce anxiety symptoms. Another treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , a short-term treatment focused on teaching specific skills to directly manage worries and help the patient gradually return to the activities that have been avoided because of anxiety.

If deemed necessary, medication may also be used as treatment as well. Medications used to treat anxiety include antidepressants and sedatives. These medications work to balance brain chemistry, prevent episodes of anxiety, and ward off the most severe symptoms of the disorder. Using medicine together with the likes of talk therapy has been proven as a very efficient method for treating anxiety.
