“Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.”

Anxiety Treatment in Sydney

Anxiety in its’ various forms can be a debilitating condition for many people, if left untreated. Anxiety is a relatively common mental health issue and treated frequently by therapists at Talkingminds at our inner west Sydney practice and in our secondary location in Camden (south west Sydney/Macarthur region). For many clients, it can feel as though anxiety has crept up over a period of time and can significantly impacts a persons’ quality of life, interfering with important life experiences and goals. People with anxiety may also be suffering from depression or depression like symptoms, thus requiring assessment, treatment and management for both.

There is hope, and good results can be achieved through anxiety counselling, anxiety psychotherapy and psychological intervention for anxiety. These and other evidence based approaches to treat anxiety are offered at Talkingminds inner west Sydney practice. Good, quality and effective anxiety therapy is available at our practice and our psychologists and social workers who treat anxiety are highly experienced.

There are different types of anxiety disorders and treatment guidelines will vary depending on the type of anxiety you are dealing with. Different types of anxiety disorders include:

  • Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
  • Phobias
  • Panic disorder and Panic Attacks
  • Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)
  • Agoraphobia
  • Anxiety related to a medical condition

We all experience some anxiety, worry and fear in our everyday life. In fact, small amounts of these feelings can be beneficial in certain situations. However, when these feelings begin to negatively interfere with your life and you are unable to cope with the mounting pressure, it is wise to seek treatment.

There are many symptoms of anxiety, which can include any of the following:

  • Excessive worrying, nervousness or feelings of dread
  • A fear of real or perceived threats
  • Feelings that your future may somehow be cut short
  • Difficulties with focus and concentration
  • Chest pain and chest tightness that are not medically related
  • Heart palpitations or a racing heart that are not medically related
  • Body shakes or tremors that are not medically related
  • Digestive complaints
  • Profuse sweating
  • Dramatic weight loss or weight gain
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Panic attacks and shortness of breath

Relationship problems, health issues, workplace stress, trauma and low self-esteem can all trigger anxiety.
