Anxiety Treatment in Santa Fe

Is anxiety normal?

Experiencing occasional anxiety is normal and can be a necessary part of life. It’s a natural response to stress or perceived threats, preparing your body to react in challenging or dangerous situations. However, if you have feelings of anxiety that become excessive, persistent, and interfere significantly with your daily life, you may have an anxiety disorder.

What are anxiety disorders?

Anxiety disorders involve a range of mental health conditions characterized by intense, prolonged, and disproportionate feelings of fear, worry, or apprehension. These disorders can affect your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical well-being.

Common types of anxiety disorders include:

• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): excessive worry about various aspects of life
• Panic disorder: sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort
• Social anxiety disorder: fear of social situations
• Specific phobias: fear of objects or situations, such as spiders, heights, flying, or enclosed spaces

If you identify with these, your Vigor Health Services provider can help.

What are the different types of anxiety disorders?

While there are many anxiety disorders, they present in various ways. For example, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can cause you to have recurring thoughts that you can’t shake, along with repetitive behaviors you feel compelled to do.

Another type includes eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, which involve disturbances in your eating behaviors, body image, and emotions.

In addition, sleep disorders, such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or nightmares disrupt your normal sleep patterns, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness and impaired functioning.

Each has its specific symptoms and can significantly impact your mental health, behaviors, and overall well-being, which often require specialized treatment.
