Anxiety is a normal human response to stress — but when it becomes persistent, overwhelming, or begins to interfere with daily life, it may be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the United States, affecting millions of adults. They are not a character flaw, a sign of weakness, or something you can simply "push through." They are medical conditions with effective treatments.
Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations — work, health, family, finances — that is difficult to control and often accompanied by physical symptoms like fatigue, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping.
Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks — sudden surges of intense fear with physical symptoms like racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a sense of impending doom — along with persistent worry about future attacks.
Intense fear of social situations where you might be judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized. More than shyness — it can prevent you from working, socializing, or doing ordinary things like making phone calls.
Intense, irrational fear of specific objects or situations — heights, flying, needles, animals — that causes significant distress or avoidance behavior.
Fear and avoidance of situations where escape might be difficult or help unavailable during a panic attack — crowded places, open spaces, public transportation, or being outside the home alone.
Excessive fear or anxiety about separation from attachment figures, beyond what is developmentally appropriate. Can occur in both children and adults.
Anxiety presents differently in different people. These are some of the most common signs that anxiety may be affecting your life.
At S. Jackson Psychiatry, anxiety treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation — not a 15-minute intake. We take the time to understand your full history, the nature of your anxiety, any co-occurring conditions, and what has or hasn't worked before. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan.
A thorough psychiatric assessment covering your history, symptoms, medical background, and any prior treatment. We do not assume a diagnosis before we've done the work.
Your plan may include medication management, therapeutic support, lifestyle recommendations, or a combination — tailored to your specific type of anxiety and your goals.
SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, and other evidence-based medications can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms. We explain every option, discuss side effects honestly, and adjust as needed.
We incorporate supportive counseling and evidence-based techniques — including CBT-informed approaches — alongside medication when appropriate.
Anxiety treatment is not a one-and-done prescription. We monitor your progress, adjust your plan, and stay engaged with your care over time.
We take the time to understand your anxiety fully before recommending treatment.
You see the same provider each time — no starting over with a new face.
Access the same quality of care from anywhere in the state.
Medication and therapy under one roof, coordinated by one provider.
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is where we start. We take the time to understand your anxiety fully — so your treatment plan is built for you.
