Common Questions About Anxiety Treatment
How do I know if I have an anxiety disorder?
Signs may include excessive worrying, restlessness, irritability, difficulty sleeping, or physical symptoms like sweating, rapid heartbeat, or muscle tension. If these symptoms persist and interfere with your daily life, it’s time to seek professional help.
Can anxiety be treated without medication?
Yes. While medication can be highly effective for many, others benefit from therapy, lifestyle adjustments, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices. Matthew Goldenberg D.O. offers both medication and non-medication approaches based on your needs.
How long does anxiety treatment take?
The duration of treatment depends on each individual. Some patients see significant improvement within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support to maintain progress.
What is the difference between normal stress and an anxiety disorder?
Stress is a temporary response to life events. Anxiety disorders are more persistent, disproportionate, and often occur without a clear trigger. If worry feels constant or overwhelming, professional treatment may help.
Can lifestyle changes really make a difference in anxiety?
Absolutely. Regular exercise, healthy sleep patterns, mindfulness, and reducing caffeine or alcohol can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms. At Matthew Goldenberg D.O., we help patients create practical lifestyle strategies as part of their treatment plan.
