ABOUT ANXIETY DISORDERS

Everyone feels stressed, anxious, and nervous from time to time. But if you experience feelings of fear or anxiety that last for an extended period, you might want to seek help for an anxiety disorder. People who have an anxiety disorder often deal with intense fear and overwhelming feelings that prevent them from doing things they once enjoyed. The condition is also marked by excessive worry, panic, dread, shortness of breath, and insomnia. The compassionate providers at Cape Family Medical Clinic can identify and treat many types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and PTSD. We invite patients of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures to schedule an appointment in Cape Girardeau today.

HOW IS ANXIETY TREATED?

To diagnose anxiety, we perform mental health evaluations, exams and genetic testing to ensure proper medications at our office in Cape Girardeau, MO. Your provider will then create a customized treatment plan to comprehensively address anxiety. There are a number of treatments for anxiety disorder, including antidepressant medication, counseling, support groups, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). For many individuals, lifestyle modifications can also help as part of their behavioral health treatment plan. These include getting plenty of sleep, cutting back on caffeine and alcohol, and maintaining close social connections.
