Anxiety Treatment in Lexington, KY

While everyone has fears or worries about things like health, finances, and relationships, those with GAD experience these feelings almost all the time. When a person has excessive worries about nearly every aspect of their life for about six months, they could have GAD.

Social anxiety is different than personality traits like shyness or introversion. For example, some people might not prefer certain social environments. However, this preference doesn’t mean they have a disorder. In fact, those with social anxiety feel a sense of dread or panic among other people.

Some people with anxiety have panic attacks when triggered. These attacks affect them physically. The person might have a rapid heartbeat, struggle to breathe, and feel as if they are going to die.

When anxiety symptoms are triggered by specific fears, the person could have a phobia. Common phobias include fear of enclosed spaces, crowds, spiders, or flying. While everyone experiences fear, a person with phobia-related anxiety disorders goes out of their way to avoid triggers. For instance, if they fear crowds, they might rely on others to shop for them, as they fear being in a crowded store.

Persistent worry, panic attacks, insomnia, physical tension, nausea, and avoiding social or work situations are key signs. If anxiety disrupts daily life for two weeks or more—or leads to substance use—it’s time to consider professional help.

While both may involve CBT, medication, and lifestyle support, anxiety treatment emphasizes calming techniques, exposure therapy, and reframing catastrophic thinking. Depression care focuses more on motivation, mood stabilization, and emotional processing.
