How Do I Know I Need Anxiety Treatment?

Recognizing the need for anxiety treatment is the first step towards recovery. You might need professional help if your anxiety has become overwhelming, persistent, and interferes with your daily activities. If you find yourself constantly worrying, avoiding situations that trigger anxiety, or experiencing physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and fatigue, it may be time to seek treatment.

Types of Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders vary greatly, but common types include:

This disorder is marked by chronic, exaggerated worry and tension that is unfounded or much more severe than the normal anxiety most people experience. People with GAD anticipate disaster and are overly concerned about health, money, family, work, or other issues. They often find it difficult to control their worry and feel anxious most days.
Individuals with panic disorder have sudden and repeated attacks of fear that last for several minutes or longer. These are known as panic attacks and are characterized by intense fear, discomfort, palpitations, pounding heart, accelerated heart rate, sweating, trembling, sensations of shortness of breath, or feelings of impending doom. Panic attacks can occur unexpectedly or can be triggered by a feared object or situation.
Also known as social phobia, this disorder involves overwhelming worry and self-consciousness about everyday social situations. The worry often centers on a fear of being judged by others, or behaving in a way that might cause embarrassment or lead to ridicule. This can lead to avoidance of social situations and severe social isolation.
A specific phobia is an intense fear of a specific object or situation, such as snakes, heights, or flying. The level of fear is usually inappropriate to the situation and may cause the person to avoid common, everyday situations.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts that are difficult to manage (obsessions) and/or the urge to repeat certain rituals or behaviors (compulsions) in an attempt to control the anxiety these thoughts produce. Common compulsions include hand washing, counting, checking, or cleaning, with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Many people who go through traumatic events have difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better.
This is the fear of and avoidance of places or situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment. It's often a complication of panic disorder and can lead to a fear of being outside alone, being in crowds or traveling in a car, bus, or airplane.
Often thought of as something only children deal with, adults can also be diagnosed with separation anxiety disorder. They may have extreme fear of being apart from persons they are attached to and worry excessively about losing them or that harm will come to them.

What to Expect During Anxiety Treatment in Philadelphia

At New Mind Wellness, your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the specifics of your anxiety disorder. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed. Treatment typically includes a combination of therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and, if necessary, medication. Our supportive environment helps facilitate recovery, focusing on both reducing symptoms and addressing root causes.

Anxiety Treatment Programs

Each level of care we provide is designed to provide the appropriate support and resources based on the severity of the individual’s condition and their specific needs at each stage of recovery. The goal is to create a seamless continuum of care that adapts to patient needs over time.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program for anxiety provides comprehensive support in a structured environment. Patients engage in daily therapeutic activities and receive consistent medical monitoring, while still returning home each evening. This intensive level of care is ideal for those who require more support than outpatient treatment can offer, focusing on coping strategies, behavioral therapy, and skills training to manage anxiety effectively.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program at New Mind Wellness is designed for individuals who need regular support but also require the flexibility to maintain their daily responsibilities. This program typically involves attending therapy sessions several days a week for a few hours each day. IOP focuses on integrating treatment strategies into real-life situations, providing therapeutic interventions, and group therapy to manage anxiety while balancing personal and professional life.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Our Outpatient Rehab Program provides a supportive approach to managing anxiety with less frequency than PHP or IOP, suitable for those with mild anxiety symptoms or as a step-down from more intensive programs. Treatment includes regular therapy sessions tailored to individual needs, focusing on maintaining gains achieved in previous care levels and preventing relapse, allowing patients to gradually take more control over their anxiety management.
