Are there different kinds of anxiety disorders?
The most common anxiety-related condition is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). With this type of anxiety disorder, virtually everything in your life is a source of anxiety, from what to cook for dinner or watch on TV to worrying you have a serious disease or feeling overwhelmed by stories in the news.
Other kinds of anxiety disorders include:
-
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety disorder is where your symptoms focus on interacting with other people.
-
Separation Anxiety
More common in children, separation anxiety is extreme distress when parted from an important person.
-
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder sets in when you start suffering frequent panic attacks.
-
Specific Phobias
Phobias are irrational fears of things that are harmless or fears that are out of proportion to the threat posed.
How are anxiety disorders treated?
Pure Psychiatry’s experienced providers begin by performing a comprehensive evaluation where you describe your symptoms and talk about your lifestyle, work, family, and other key aspects of your life. You might also fill in a questionnaire like the GAD-7, which assesses the severity of your condition.
Your provider can then advise you on the most helpful treatment. This is likely to include anti-anxiety medications to help stabilize your mood, alongside talk therapies.
Psychotherapy can help by dealing with the underlying causes of your anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is also useful as it helps you learn to address and manage your fears.

How is depression treated?
Your provider at Pure Psychiatry is likely to use two main treatments for depression:
-
DescriptioRebalancing the chemicals in your brain could have a significant impact on your recovery from depression.
You may have to try several medicines before finding the one that’s right for you. Also, it can take some weeks for the medication to start having an effect, so you might not feel any benefit to begin with. It’s important to stick with your medication and see your provider at Pure Psychiatry of Michigan regularly to review your progress and make any adjustments.
-
Psychotherapy (talk therapy) takes different forms. Some help you manage your symptoms day-to-day, while others investigate any underlying emotional problems or traumas that could be causing your illness.
Your provider might use a combination of these treatments to achieve the best results. They’re also happy to adopt new, proven therapies as they become available, if they offer patients sufficient benefit.
