How Do I Know If I Have Anxiety?

Anxiety can take many shapes and forms, not all of them obvious at first glance. Some people may isolate themselves from society in order to avoid painful feelings. For others, anxiety can take the form of persistent, urgent-seeming questions that disrupt their lives. For example:

• Am I sick?
• Am I going to die?
• Are my loved ones going to leave me?
• Does everyone hate me?
• Did I forget to do something critical?
• Are my loved ones safe?
• Does everyone think I’m crazy?
• Am I too anxious?

The exceptional anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Modesto, CA can intervene to help you work through maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. They can help you examine and modify your beliefs so you can finally experience some relief from your anxiety.

The Main Anxiety Disorders and How They’re Treated

The boundaries of mental disorders tend to be fluid, in that symptoms of one disorder, such as anxiety, can bleed into another, like depression. But here are the five main types of anxiety disorders that a specialized therapist might diagnose:

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which can be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or medications
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which can be treated with psychotherapy and/or medications
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can be treated with cognitive processing therapy (CPT), EMDR, stress inoculation training (SIT), exposure therapy, and more
• Social anxiety disorder, which can be treated with CBT
• Panic disorder, which can be treated with psychotherapy and/or medications

Anxiety therapists can also treat specific phobias. You and your anxiety therapist might try a few different methods of tackling your anxiety, and treatment can always change over time. In addition to clinical treatment, many therapists recommend small behavior modifications like eating better and exercising more, cutting back or quitting alcohol, or practicing meditation at home. Many clients benefit from a holistic approach.
