Can Anxiety Be Treated in Therapy?
Do you find yourself overwhelmed with “what if’s” and worst case scenarios? You aren’t alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States. They affect more than 40 million adults ages 18 and older. Anxiety treatment is highly effective, however the sad truth is that only 37% of those affected by anxiety disorders seek out treatment.
Anxiety disorders are often a build up of smaller stressful situations, resulting in consistent feelings of heightened stress and worry. Some common stressors for anxiety include relationship troubles, past or current trauma, financial hardships, and the death of a loved one. Certain personality types are also more susceptible to anxiety. These people can experience elevated stress without a particular stressor. Stress is a normal part of life, but feeling constant stress can be overwhelming and even crippling to carry on a consistent basis.
