Anxiety

In this new millennium and in this current economic state Anxiety is the predominant disorder effecting one’s mental health.  In order to be resilient and functional in today’s world it is necessary that this increased Anxiety Disorder be treated. Anxiety Disorders are highly treatable.  Treatment by Dr. Lucchetti includes basic behavioral changes as well as psychodynamic view of anxiety.  Headaches, gastrointestinal pain, back aches, fatigue, insomnia, and neuromuscular symptoms are often diagnosed as medical conditions.  Sometimes the cause of these medical conditions is untreated anxiety.  The most recent economic downturn, as well as violence in our communities, has sharply increased anxiety among young children, teenagers, and adults. 

Effective psychotherapy for anxiety includes limited use of medication and alternative treatments.  Additionally, therapy includes addressing spiritual concerns and exposure therapy to anxiety producing conditions.  Often participation in a supportive therapeutic relationship begins to provide significant relief in reducing symptoms of anxiety.
