Anxiety disorder psychotherapy
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States. It is estimated that 40 million adults in America have an anxiety disorder, and that only around 38% of them receive treatment. Anxiety disorders are a group of mental illnesses that cause people to feel stressed out and worried about things for no apparent reason. These disorders make it difficult for people to do everyday tasks like going to school or work, or even leaving their house
Thankfully, anxiety disorders can be treated with psychotherapy — a form of talking therapy that helps people deal with their problems, such as anxiety and depression. Psychotherapy can help people change the way they think about themselves and the world around them, which may reduce anxiety symptoms.
