There are risk factors that can predispose people for anxiety disorders. These include:
Do you need mental health treatment for anxiety?
An evaluation can tell you.
At bonmente, all mental health treatments start with an evaluation by one of our expert mental health practitioners, many of whom specialize in treating anxiety. By exploring your symptoms, concerns, and lifestyle, our qualified mental health providers can determine whether you have an anxiety disorder, and if so, what kind.

What are anxiety symptoms?
The most common anxiety disorder symptoms are worry and fear, which can become frequent, intense, and excessive. Oftentimes, a normal situation triggers it.
For someone with an anxiety disorder, meeting an old friend for lunch can trigger a spiral that keeps you from leaving the house.
In certain cases, if the anxiety spikes it can cause a panic attack, which for some people can be so intense that it may feel like they are dying
How is anxiety treated?
“Fortunately, anxiety is a highly treatable mental health condition,” says Mottsin Thomas, a psychiatrist at bonmente. “With the right combination of therapy, medications, and lifestyle changes, patients can take control of their anxiety and lead better lives.”
Bonmente’s mental health practitioners create treatment plans based on each patient’s unique history and goals. These plans may include therapy, medications, or a combination of both.
Many patients benefit greatly from talk therapy. Our therapists help patients learn specific skills to manage symptoms and gain confidence in navigating anxiety-inducing situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven to be a highly effective form of therapy for anxiety disorders. Bonmente therapy sessions can take place over our secure telepsychiatry platform.
