Anxiety may affect thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, sleep, work, and relationships. Because each patient experiences anxiety differently, treatment should begin with a careful assessment rather than a predetermined solution.
Helyx Health serves patients in Beverly Hills and surrounding communities with psychotherapy and psychiatric care for anxiety.
Some patients experience worry across many parts of life. Others struggle primarily in social situations, during high-pressure tasks, following trauma, or when unexpected physical sensations occur. Anxiety can also accompany depression, insomnia, obsessive thoughts, burnout, chronic health concerns, or significant transitions.
An evaluation helps clarify the symptoms, their impact, and whether another medical or mental health concern should be considered.
Anxiety can involve racing thoughts, apprehension, irritability, difficulty concentrating, a sense of impending danger, or repeated reassurance seeking. Physical symptoms may include muscle tension, sweating, shakiness, stomach discomfort, rapid breathing, sleep disruption, or a noticeable heartbeat.
New, severe, or unexplained physical symptoms should not automatically be attributed to anxiety. Patients should seek appropriate medical evaluation when needed.
Psychotherapy can help patients understand triggers, reduce avoidance, build emotional-regulation skills, and develop a more flexible response to fear and uncertainty. Treatment may use CBT, ACT, exposure-based methods, mindfulness, relational therapy, psychodynamic work, or trauma-focused approaches depending on clinical need.
Some patients may benefit from a psychiatric evaluation in addition to therapy. Medication decisions are individualized and consider symptoms, medical history, other medications, previous treatment, and patient preferences. Medication is not required for every person seeking anxiety care.
