Anxiety & Related Issues
Anxiety is one of the most commonly reported mental health concerns brought to providers by patients. It has far-reaching effects today including negative self-worth, avoidance behaviors, work productivity, School productivity, social relationship impairments, and substance use issues. Among the anxiety disorders is also obsessive compulsive disorder which incorporates the features of anxiety but has its own unique needs. OCD type disorders can be genetic as is anxiety but can also be the result of trauma or neurological manifestations. Anxiety and OCD management require professional intervention, dietary and nutritional supplementation, lifestyle intervention and changes, and individualized therapy to provide skills to lead a more productive life. Management of these disorders can decrease problems in relationships, work, education, and improve quality of life dramatically.
