Occasional periods of increased anxiety are a normal part of life, however,
ongoing stress that disrupts the quality of life and impacts an individuals’
ability to function needs to be addressed.
Excessive anxiety and worry may have physical or genetic roots, be in reaction to an acute situation or trauma, or may be part of a lifelong problem. Panic attacks are physically intense experiences of terror, and often include difficulty in breathing and a sense of loss of control. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by the re-experiencing of a previous trauma and can create extreme anxiety. At Naperville Behavioral Health we listen carefully and help our clients understand the issues that have led to their overwhelming anxiety. We utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation training, EMDR and a variety of other tools to help our clients learn how to reduce and manage anxiety.
