What is anxiety?

Anxiety is the feeling of fear, dread, or worry. It usually occurs during times of stress or when facing a situation with an unknown outcome. Anxiety is a normal response to these types of situations. It heightens your awareness and boosts your energy.

However, when you struggle with excessive feelings of anxiety on a daily basis over everyday things, then you might have an anxiety disorder. Mr. Darden at JD Wellness, LLC, specializes in treating anxiety through his telehealth mental health practice.

What are the types of anxiety disorders?

There are many types of anxiety disorders. These disorders may cause varying symptoms and have different triggers. 

Types of anxiety disorders include:

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

GAD causes excessive feelings of fear, worry, or dread about everyday things like your health, finances, or work. Your anxiety is so intense that it affects your ability to manage day-to-day responsibilities. 

Panic disorder

A panic disorder is a type of anxiety in which you have unexpected panic attacks. Panic is the most extreme form of anxiety, causing feelings of doom, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and sweating. A panic attack comes on without warning and lasts several minutes. 

If you have a panic disorder, you may constantly worry about your next panic attack and avoid situations you fear may trigger an attack. 

Phobias

Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder that triggers excessive fear about objects or situations. Fear of spiders and flying are common types of phobias. Social anxiety disorder is also a type of phobia that triggers anxiety during social situations.  

What can I expect during an anxiety appointment?

You can expect a patient-centered approach evaluation during your telehealth appointment for anxiety at JD Wellness, LLC. Before making any recommendations, Mr. Darden does a comprehensive evaluation, assessing your physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.
