Thankfully, this issue does not need to go unchecked, as anxiety disorder treatment is available. If you’re seeking help with anxiety disorder issues, please contact Transcend Recovery Community and see how we can assist you.
Anxiety disorders tend to manifest as feelings of excessive and not proportional fear and worry over a variety of situations. It is typical for people with anxiety disorders to avoid certain people, places, or situations that may exacerbate their anxiety or trigger an episode. Anxiety disorders can develop at any age, as they are seen in both children and adults.
While the core cause of anxiety disorders is currently unknown, there is a general suggestion that genetics and environmental stressors can play a part in the development of these conditions. To be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, one must fit the following criteria:
Currently, there are a number of recognized anxiety-related conditions for which treatment is available. The most common anxiety disorders include:

The term “anxiety” is used quite casually among the general population. While mild anxiety is the typical baseline, most people’s anxiety is appropriate to the situation and dissipates within an acceptable time frame. Pervasive and excessive levels of anxiety are frequently an issue, as it can negatively impact a person’s quality of life.
If a person’s daily activities and ability to function normally are hindered by their anxiety, there is a strong possibility they may be suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). People with GAD frequently describe it as “worrying constantly about everything,” and have severe difficulty in controlling their anxiety. GAD can develop as early as childhood, though some do not experience it until adulthood. This disorder has the potential to get progressively worse with time, and can often be found alongside other mood disorders; as such, early diagnosis and treatment are incredibly important.
Psychotherapy and medications, such as anti-anxiety medications or anti-depressants, are typical types of treatment for anxiety disorders. Many diagnosed with anxiety disorders have been able to successfully manage their condition with these treatments individually or by a combination of the two.
Therapy options frequently used for anxiety disorder treatment include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequently used psychotherapy treatment option when tending to conditions such as anxiety. The core concept is thought of as a relationship exploration. Typically, self-destructive behaviors are rooted in unhealthy thought patterns. CBT allows us to identify these patterns, and link them to the actions and habits that they influence. When these harmful ideals are revealed, explored, and confronted, it becomes much easier to progress to a more constructive and practical manner of thinking.
Thought challenging, also known as cognitive restructuring, is a key CBT technique used in treatment. This concept speaks to a three-step process that takes a client from a naturally negative thought pattern to a more helpful perspective. Thought challenging consists roughly of the following:
Exposure therapy is a type of psychological treatment that helps people to overcome their anxiety by desensitizing them to their triggers. In Exposure Therapy, clients are gradually exposed to fear-inducing situations or objects so that they become less sensitive to them with each exposure. Over time, repeated exposure to their fears in a safe environment helps clients’ feelings of anxiety to lessen.
In conjunction with CBT, clients can learn to associate feared objects or situations with more rational beliefs during exposure.
Though CBT and Exposure Therapy are generally regarded as preferred treatments of choice, other types of therapy such as the following are used to aid in treating anxiety disorders:
Transcend offers all of these options at an expert level, and can assure that the appropriate treatment will be implemented per the client’s needs.
