Anxiety Disorder Treatment Matched to What's Driving It

Treatment consultation room at Turnwell Mental Health

Anxiety is not a personality trait and it is not a sign of weakness. For a lot of people, it is a physiological pattern that has started firing at the wrong times, in response to things that are not actually threatening. Turnwell's board-certified psychiatrists and licensed therapists treat the full range of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and anxiety co-occurring with depression or trauma, with care matched to what is actually driving your symptoms.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety Disorders Are Common. They Are Also Treatable.

Anxiety disorders are the most common category of mental health conditions in the United States. They include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and agoraphobia. What these share is a pattern of fear or anxiety disproportionate to the actual threat and persistent enough to impair daily life.

Effective treatment begins with a correct diagnosis. Anxiety frequently co-occurs with depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and substance use. The right treatment plan depends on which conditions are actually present. Treating anxiety without addressing co-occurring depression, or using the wrong approach for the type of anxiety, reduces effectiveness.

Turnwell's psychiatrists conduct thorough evaluations that distinguish between anxiety disorder types and identify co-occurring conditions before recommending a plan. Options include psychiatric medication management, CBT, EMDR for anxiety with a trauma component, and TMS therapy for severe or treatment-resistant presentations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

What is generalized anxiety disorder?
Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by persistent, excessive worry about multiple areas of life, difficulty controlling the worry, and physical symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. It is treatable with medication management, CBT, and in some cases EMDR or TMS therapy.
What medications are used for anxiety?
Common medications for anxiety disorders include SSRIs and SNRIs, buspirone, and short-term benzodiazepines in specific clinical contexts. Your Turnwell psychiatrist evaluates your full clinical picture before recommending a specific medication approach.
How is anxiety different from an anxiety disorder?
Anxiety is a normal human experience. An anxiety disorder is present when anxiety is disproportionate to the situation, difficult to control, persistent, and causing meaningful impairment in daily life, work, relationships, or physical health. A psychiatric evaluation is the most reliable way to determine whether symptoms meet diagnostic criteria.
Does insurance cover anxiety treatment at Turnwell?
Yes. Turnwell accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and most major commercial insurance plans for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy for anxiety disorders. We verify your benefits before your first appointment.
