Generalized Anxiety

At One Source Integrative Medicine we employ a more personalized, patient centered, whole person approach to healthcare, rather than a conventional, one size fits all, disease oriented focus.

Have you been feeling excessively anxious or worrisome of late for no particular reason?

Have you been feeling excessively anxious or worrisome of late for no particular reason? A generalized anxiety disorder therapy session with us might be just what you need to improve your emotional and mental well-being. Here’s what you should know about the different forms of therapy for generalized anxiety disorder.

What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder Therapy?

Generalized anxiety disorder can be described as a mental health condition that results in regular and excessive anxiety for no particular reason. It is one of several types of anxiety disorders that can affect approximately 5% of Americans, and clinical studies have shown that women are twice as likely to develop a generalized anxiety disorder than men.

Changes in daily routine, work, health status, or social interactions can affect people with generalized anxiety disorder. Common symptoms include:

Fatigue
Irritability
Tense muscles
Feeling on-edge
Excess anxiety and worry
Difficulty sleeping
Sweating and dry mouth

What are the Different Forms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Therapies?

These include:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a form of psychotherapy that can help connect the dots between your emotions, feelings, and behaviors

What to Expect During a Generalized Anxiety Disorder Therapy Session

If you’ve never had a cognitive-based therapy session before, you might wonder what to expect during the appointment. A certified therapist at One Source Integrative Medicine will begin with an evaluation to determine your current health status, including your time commitment, life stressors, and emotional well-being. From there, your therapist will recommend a CBT treatment program that’s right in treating your generalized anxiety disorder and may also include other forms of therapy like acupuncture, hypnosis, and yoga.

Typical CBT treatment programs last for up to 20 weeks and are usually hour-long sessions.
