Anxiety

Do you find yourself worrying about everyday situations and experiencing frequent panic attacks? If so, you may have an anxiety disorder. With a visit to our office, our doctor, Dr. Layne Hermansen, will be able to discuss your anxious thoughts and feelings to develop a personal treatment plan to help you start feeling better.

Common signs you may have anxiety are:

• Avoiding social interaction with others
• An increased heart rate when speaking up in a room of people
• Constantly thinking about the worst-case scenario
• Feelings of fear and nervousness about the past or future
• Difficulty sleeping at night
• Trouble focusing on the task at hand because of being more fixated on the present worry
• Sweating palms and heavy breathing
• Fatigue and digestive problems

When Should I See a Doctor About Anxiety?

We strongly recommend coming to see a medical professional if you:

• Start to experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors. If so, please seek emergency care right away.
• Feel depressed and use unhealthy distractions as an avoidance mechanism.
• Worry too much that your anxiety is affecting your interpersonal relationships, job performance and daily activities.
