Anxiety Therapy & Treatment in Houston, Texas

Anxiety disorders encompass a range of conditions, each with its own specific symptoms and triggers. Common types of anxiety disorders include:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): This disorder is characterized by chronic and excessive worry about various aspects of daily life, such as work, health, or relationships. Individuals with GAD often find it difficult to control their worry and may experience physical symptoms like restlessness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
• Panic Disorder: Panic Disorder involves recurrent and unexpected panic attacks, which are sudden surges of intense fear or discomfort. These attacks can include symptoms like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom or loss of control.
• Specific Phobias: A specific phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a particular object or situation, such as heights, spiders, or flying. The fear is disproportionate to the actual danger posed and often leads to avoidance behaviors.
• Social Anxiety Disorder: Also known as social phobia, this disorder involves a significant fear of social or performance situations, where individuals are concerned about being embarrassed, judged, or rejected. It often leads to avoidance of social interactions and can hinder personal and professional relationships.
• Separation Anxiety Disorder: Commonly observed in children, this disorder involves excessive fear or anxiety about being separated from attachment figures, such as parents or caregivers. Symptoms can include distress when anticipating or experiencing separation and reluctance to be alone.
• Agoraphobia: Agoraphobia is characterized by a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or help might not be available in the event of a panic attack. This can include fear of open spaces, public transportation, crowded places, or simply being outside of the home.
• Selective Mutism: This is a complex anxiety disorder characterized by a child’s inability to speak in certain social situations, like at school or in public, despite speaking in other settings where they feel comfortable and safe, such as at home. It’s not simply a refusal to speak but rather an inability to speak in specific social contexts.
