Introduction
Everyone feels anxious sometimes. But if worry, tension or panic has become frequent, hard to control, or is getting in the way of work, school, sleep or relationships, it may be time to talk with a qualified professional.
Overview
What Is Anxiety Treatment?
Anxiety treatment at SBHS begins with understanding your experience. A psychiatric evaluation helps us learn what you’re feeling, when it happens, and what may be contributing. From there, we’ll talk about options that fit your needs.
Depending on your situation, care may include supportive therapy and coping skills, psychoeducation, medication management when clinically appropriate, or a combination.
