Understanding ANXIETY DISORDERS

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting approximately 40 million adults in the U.S. each year—nearly 19% of the population. Despite their prevalence, many individuals do not seek treatment, which can lead to significant impacts on daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.

While anxiety is a natural response to stress, it becomes a disorder when it is persistent, excessive, and interferes with daily life. Anxiety disorders encompass a range of conditions, including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Excessive worry about various aspects of life.

  • Social Anxiety Disorder: Fear or avoidance of social situations due to self-consciousness or embarrassment.

  • Panic Disorder: Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and fear of future episodes.

  • Phobias: Intense fear of specific objects or situations.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Emotional Symptoms:

  • Persistent worry or fear.

  • Feeling overwhelmed or out of control.

  • Restlessness or irritability.

Physical Symptoms:

  • Increased heart rate or palpitations.

  • Muscle tension or headaches.

  • Sweating or trembling.

  • Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, upset stomach).

Cognitive Symptoms:

  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing.

  • Racing thoughts or intrusive worries.

  • Avoidance behaviors to escape feared situations.

If you or someone you love is struggling with anxiety, professional treatment can make a significant difference. At Vijapura Psychiatry, we are here to provide expert, compassionate care.

At Vijapura Psychiatry, we believe in addressing the root causes of anxiety while providing tools to manage symptoms effectively. Our holistic approach integrates the latest medical advances with lifestyle interventions to promote lasting well-being.

01.  Expertise in Medication Management

  • Our team specializes in selecting and titrating medications to ensure relief with the lowest effective doses for the shortest necessary duration, reducing side effects and supporting recovery.

  • Medication management is always tailored to your individual symptoms and needs, creating a foundation for therapeutic and lifestyle interventions.

02. Integrated Psychotherapy

  • While we are not psychotherapists, we incorporate principles of evidence-based psychotherapy into our care.

  • Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) empower you to reframe anxious thoughts, develop resilience, and manage triggers effectively.

03. Nutritional Psychiatry

  • Diet plays a vital role in mental health. By integrating insights from nutritional psychiatry, we help you adopt dietary habits that support brain health and emotional stability.

  • We address nutritional deficiencies that may exacerbate anxiety, recommending evidence-based supplements such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 fatty acids to enhance mental wellness.

  • Nature Therapy: Encouraging time in green and blue spaces to foster calm and reduce stress.
