What is anxiety?

Anxiety is an umbrella term for many mental health disorders that spark fear, worry, and distress and last over six months. You may experience anxiety regarding your health, finances, security, relationships, life changes, or any number of things.

Your symptoms may differ from others but could include:

  • Insomnia or sleep disorders
  • Accelerated heart rate
  • Faster breathing
  • Sweating or trembling
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Stomach or bowel issues

Anxiety can feel like an out-of-control emotional and physical spiral, so having compassionate support is crucial. The Healing From The Roots team understands your challenges and works with you to restore your calm.

What causes anxiety?

Research indicates a connection between genetic, medical, and environmental factors and your anxiety. These factors might include:

  • Consuming caffeine
  • Certain medications
  • Thyroid issues
  • Prolonged stress
  • Consuming alcohol
  • Heart problems

While your genetics are outside your control, you can seek help from the skilled team at Healing From The Roots to manage your medications, discuss your lifestyle, and pursue better solutions to your anxieties. They offer lab evaluations to fully understand the state of your health and guide your treatment plan.

What can I expect from anxiety treatment?

Healing From The Roots focuses on innovative, integrative health care to help you heal. Your individualized treatment plan might include:

Medication

Antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can manage your anxiety by preventing your brain from reabsorbing chemicals that manage your mood. Examples include Lexapro®, Zoloft®, and Prozac®.

Benzodiazepines may also be beneficial. These include Xanax® and Valium®, but these medications can be addictive and are prescribed sparingly for acute anxiety.

Therapy

Therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), can help you understand and accept yourself as a whole. It may enable you to understand your anxiety and what triggers it so you can respond to situations in a healthy, constructive way.

Ketamine

Ketamine injections can be effective if your anxiety has resisted other forms of treatment.

Lifestyle changes

The team promotes whole-person wellness as you manage your anxiety and may recommend improving your diet and activity levels, help you address sleep disorders, or offer group support.
