Who Is Best Qualified to Treat Anxiety?

Many people first present their symptoms of anxiety to their primary care doctor. After all, the symptoms of anxiety can often be physical. Consider the following examples:

• Sleep disruptions like insomnia or nightmares
• Digestive problems, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Migraines or headaches
• Appetite problems
• Hyperventilation
• Nausea
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness or faintness
• Racing heartbeat

But a primary care doctor or family physician does not usually have the specialized training and knowledge required to treat anxiety disorders. The anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Woodridge, IL use different types of therapy like CBT to address anxiety from the inside-out. These mental health professionals might help people with coping skills or cognitive strategies to overcome their excessive worries. 

What Are the Types of Anxiety?

Anxiety is usually classified into the following types:

• Panic disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Social anxiety
• Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD)
• Separation anxiety
• Selective mutism
• Agoraphobia
• Medication-induced anxiety disorder

As for this last type, a qualified psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Woodridge, IL can help determine whether the side effects of a client’s medications are mimicking anxiety symptoms, or whether the anxiety originates from somewhere else.
