Types of Anxiety Disorders
There are several types of anxiety disorders, and each one has unique symptoms. Here are a few examples:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Persistent and excessive worry, restlessness, fatigue, and muscle tension.
Panic Disorder: Recurring panic attacks with severe symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
Specific Phobias: Excessive fear of an object, activity, or situation such as fear of spiders or heights.
Social Anxiety: When everyday social interactions cause excess fear of being judged, worry about embarrassment or humiliation, or concern about offending someone.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Unwanted, repeated thoughts and behaviors.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: When feeling stressed or frightened, even when there is no danger.
Anxiety becomes a concern when it persists or when it occurs in situations which are not innately dangerous. When anxiety levels stay high, your mental and physical health are at risk, and your ability to get through daily life becomes disrupted.
A combination of counseling, lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, and anti-anxiety medications helps most.
When anxiety is treatment-resistant, we can offer options.
Ketamine therapy for anxiety is typically administered as a low dose infusion for about 40 minutes per session. We monitor you for your safety and well-being. During your infusion, you feel very relaxed. You might also feel distant from your thoughts and feelings, as Ketamine has a dissociative effect. You’ll still be alert and able to interact with the team.
A Stellate ganglion block or SGB is a revolutionary new approach to managing anxiety and PTSD. And SGB is a injection that can dial down the flight or fight response common in both anxiety and PTSD. The procedure take 15 minutes to perform, with a 30 minute recovery time.
