Anxiety Disorder

Many of us feel times of panic and anxiety, it is a normal human feeling when in threatening or difficult situations.

You may feel worry about a continuing problem such as money issues or fear in a situation of immediate threat such as when faced with an angry dog. Fear and worry are both positive in these situations to help us avoid danger or motivate us to do something about the problem. However, the feeling of anxiety can become too strong or go on for too long. If you find these anxiety feelings are preventing you from doing things you want to, or is making your life miserable or happening most of time without you knowing the cause, it’s time to seek anxiety treatment.

Our treatment approach for Anxiety

Our approach to treating anxiety at Psych Consult Belfast combines individualised treatment programs with treatment based on current clinical evidence. There are two types of treatment available for anxiety: talking therapies and medication.

Talking therapies can help you understand and come to terms with your anxieties. They also help you learn more positive emotional and behavioural responses to situations and feeling that bring on your anxiety.

Medication can also be effective if your anxiety is severe. It may help you to feel less anxious and cope better so that you can start to enjoy life and deal with problems effectively again
