Anxiety Treatment Specialist in Beverly Hills CA

At Helyx Health, we understand that it is entirely possible to experience both anxiety and depression at the same time. In fact, these two mental health conditions frequently occur together—a situation known as “comorbid” anxiety and depression. Individuals facing both may notice overlapping symptoms such as persistent sadness, excessive worry, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and changes in appetite. The combination of anxiety and depression can intensify symptoms and make daily life more challenging.

Our clinical team recognizes that, while anxiety and depression are distinct conditions, they are closely related. Anxiety is often marked by ongoing feelings of fear, nervousness, or panic, while depression is characterized by low mood, loss of interest in activities, and a sense of hopelessness. When these conditions co-occur, treatment may become more complex, but rest assured—effective options are available.

At Helyx Health, we offer evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and personalized medication management, to address both anxiety and depression. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of both conditions, we encourage you to reach out. Our experienced healthcare professionals will provide a thorough evaluation and develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

At Helyx Health, we understand how profoundly social anxiety can impact both personal relationships and professional life. For many individuals, social anxiety brings a persistent fear of judgment or rejection, making it challenging to form or maintain close connections. This can lead to avoiding social situations, reluctance to share thoughts and feelings, and even withdrawing from friends and loved ones. Over time, such patterns may cause loneliness, misunderstandings, and strain relationships, as those around you may misinterpret anxiety-driven behaviors as disinterest.

Social anxiety doesn’t just affect your personal life—it can also create significant barriers in the workplace. Many people with social anxiety find it difficult to speak up in meetings, participate in group projects, or seize networking opportunities. This may result in missed chances for professional growth, limited recognition, and increased stress. For some, everyday work situations like presentations or performance reviews become sources of distress, potentially leading to lower job satisfaction or absenteeism.

At Helyx Health, we are committed to helping you recognize the impact of social anxiety and providing the support you need. Our compassionate healthcare professionals can offer personalized therapy, coping strategies, and workplace accommodations to help you regain confidence and improve your quality of life. If you or someone you know is struggling with social anxiety, we encourage you to reach out to Helyx Health and take the first step toward building stronger relationships and a more fulfilling professional life.

When you experience anxiety, your body activates its natural “fight or flight” response. This process starts in your brain: the amygdala recognizes a threat and signals the hypothalamus, which in turn prompts your adrenal glands to release stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.

These hormones trigger a range of physical symptoms. You may notice your heart rate speeding up, your breathing becoming quick and shallow, or tension building in your neck, shoulders, or jaw. You might also experience sweaty palms, cold or clammy skin, and even digestive discomfort like nausea or “butterflies.” Some people feel dizzy, shaky, or get a dry mouth, while others notice tingling in their hands and feet.

Our team understands these symptoms can be alarming—especially when the source of anxiety isn’t obvious or the reactions seem disproportionate. Our healthcare professionals are experienced in recognizing the ways anxiety affects the body, and we’re here to help you identify triggers, manage symptoms, and return to a state of balance.
