Anxiety can make the world feel loud, complicated, overwhelming

Anxiety can make your daily living feel like it’s too overwhelming to take on. Severe anxiety can make simple tasks into complex chores, and complex tasks into impossible nightmares. Some people describe constant anxiety as trying to live around a TV blasting static on full volume. Others describe it as listening to the buzzing hum of fluorescent lights in an otherwise quiet room. We can help you turn off those lights and live a life without anxiety.

We pride ourselves on offering the best treatments for anxiety for children and adults using the most reliable science-based guidelines. Currently, the research clearly supports that for the majority of youth and adults suffering from anxiety the best treatment is combination of cognitive behavioral talk therapy (CBT) along with an anti-anxiety psychiatric medication. The psychiatric medication can make the treatment process a little more tolerable, and the talk-therapy provides the sufferer with tools to overcome their anxiety and live up to their potential.

Medication and therapy are the most effective treatment for overcoming anxiety, but a healthy lifestyle to power the brain during these challenges is also very important. At Youthful Minds Psychiatry, we believe that recovery is usually accompanied by the 4 Pillars of a Healthy Mind: at least 7 hours of sleep, healthy food to fuel the mind, developing friendships, and strengthening exercise. These 4 Pillars also apply to children and teens. We know all these things, and if it were easy we would all do these 4 things every day. At Youthful Minds Psychiatry, we can track your progress and help you to achieve your goals and achieve freedom from anxiety.
