Depression
Depression is a common illness that affects numerous individuals and can negatively affect how we think, feel and act. While symptoms and severity of depression varies from person to person, when left untreated, it typically results in a negative outcome. Fortunately, depression can be treated with medication as well as various modalities, including Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Behavioral Therapy.
Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotion that everyone experiences; it is not uncommon. Anxiety symptoms are triggered when the brain reacts to stress, which alerts the individual that something may be wrong and unsettling. While occasional anxiety is normal, anxiety disorders are quite different.
Anxiety disorders impact peoples’ lives by causing excessive worries and fears. This can result in avoiding interacting with others, school, work, and community. Anxiety disorders can also result in poor concentration, restlessness, and physiological responses (shortness of breath, tense muscles & heart palpitations to name a few). While there are several medications that can help treat anxiety symptoms, Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can all be helpful in addressing and treating anxiety disorder.
