Anxiety
Worries overwhelming? Seek calm within.
Anxiety is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities. It can manifest through physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and fatigue, as well as through behavioral changes. Anxiety disorders vary greatly and may include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, among others. Effective management often involves a combination of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, and lifestyle modifications.
Access Telehealth offers a confidential way to access mental health professionals for anxiety. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your experiences, receive a diagnosis, and work on a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, and strategies to manage anxiety symptoms, all from the safety and privacy of your home.
Precautions
- Practice deep breathing exercises or meditation to help calm your mind. Techniques such as the 4-7-8 method (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds) can be particularly effective.
- Establish a regular exercise routine. Physical activity can help reduce anxiety levels by releasing endorphins, improving your sleep, and providing a healthy distraction from anxious thoughts.
- Create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality. Avoid screen time at least an hour before bed, and consider calming activities like reading or taking a warm bath. Good sleep hygiene can significantly impact anxiety levels.
Common Medications
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Sertraline (Zoloft) Escitalopram (Lexapro) Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as Venlafaxine (Effexor XR)
- Duloxetine (Cymbalta) Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq)
- As needed medications such as Hydroxyzine (Vistaril)
