What Is Anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious sometimes, before a job interview, a big test, or a tough conversation. That’s normal. But when anxiety becomes constant, overwhelming, or starts controlling your decisions, it’s more than just nerves. It’s a medical condition that deserves treatment.

At MindWell Psychiatric Services, we provide expert anxiety treatment in Las Vegas designed around your specific symptoms and needs. Whether you’re dealing with constant worry, panic attacks, or fear that keeps you from living your life, we’re here to help you find calm again.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the United States, affecting over 40 million adults each year. Despite how common they are, only about one-third of people with anxiety receive treatment.

Anxiety isn’t just “being stressed” or “worrying too much.” It’s a condition rooted in brain chemistry, genetics, and life experiences. The good news is that anxiety disorders are highly treatable, and the right care can make a significant difference in your quality of life.

How Anxiety Affects Daily Life

Anxiety doesn’t stay in your head. It shows up in your body, your relationships, and your ability to function:

  • Work and school — Difficulty concentrating, avoiding meetings or presentations, missed deadlines
  • Relationships — Withdrawing from social situations, irritability, needing constant reassurance
  • Physical health — Headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues, fatigue from poor sleep
  • Daily tasks — Avoiding phone calls, procrastinating decisions, feeling paralyzed by simple choices
  • Sleep — Racing thoughts at night, trouble falling or staying asleep, waking up anxious

Without treatment, anxiety tends to get worse over time. But with the right support, most people see real improvement.

Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety looks different for everyone, but there are common symptoms to watch for. If several of these have been present for six months or more and interfere with your daily life, it may be time to seek help.

Emotional Symptoms:

  • Constant worry or dread
  • Feeling restless or on edge
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty controlling worry
  • Sense of impending danger or doom
  • Feeling detached or unreal

Physical Symptoms:

  • Racing heart or palpitations
  • Sweating, trembling, or shaking
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest tightness
  • Nausea or stomach problems
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

Cognitive Symptoms:

  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Mind going blank
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Overthinking and rumination
  • Expecting the worst

If you’re experiencing panic attacks, sudden episodes of intense fear with physical symptoms, that’s also a sign that professional treatment can help.

Types of Anxiety Disorders

 

Anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all. Understanding the type of anxiety you’re experiencing helps us create a more effective treatment plan.

Mindwell Anxiety Icon

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Persistent, excessive worry about everyday things: work, health, family, money, even when there’s no clear reason to worry. The anxiety feels difficult or impossible to control and occurs most days for at least six months.

MindWell Panic attack Icon

Panic Disorder

Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks, sudden surges of intense fear that peak within minutes. Symptoms include racing heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and fear of losing control or dying. Many people develop a fear of having another attack.

MindWell Social Anxiety Icon

Social Anxiety Disorder

Intense fear of social situations where you might be judged, embarrassed, or humiliated. This goes beyond shyness, it can prevent you from speaking up at work, attending events, or even making phone calls.

MindWell Phobia Icon

Specific Phobias

Intense, irrational fear of a specific object or situation, such as flying, heights, needles, spiders, etc. The fear is out of proportion to the actual danger and leads to avoidance that can limit your life.

MindWell Agrophobia Icon

Agoraphobia

Fear of situations where escape might be difficult or help unavailable if panic occurs. This can include being outside alone, in crowds, on public transportation, or in enclosed spaces. In severe cases, people may avoid leaving home entirely.

Anxiety often occurs alongside other conditions, particularly depression and PTSD. When anxiety doesn’t respond to standard treatment, it’s worth exploring whether another condition might be contributing.

When to Seek Help

Many people live with anxiety for years before seeking treatment. They assume it’s just their personality, that they should be able to manage it on their own, or that it’s not “bad enough” to need help. But anxiety is a medical condition, and like any medical condition, it responds best to proper treatment.

Consider reaching out if:

  • Your worry feels out of control
  • Anxiety is interfering with work, relationships, or daily life
  • You’re avoiding situations because of fear
  • You’ve had panic attacks
  • You’re using alcohol or drugs to cope
  • Physical symptoms (headaches, stomach issues, insomnia) have no other explanation

Asking for help isn’t a weakness; it’s the first step toward feeling better. At MindWell, we make it easy to take that step with same-day appointments and a judgment-free environment.

How MindWell Treats Anxiety

At MindWell Psychiatric Services, we take a personalized approach to anxiety treatment. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, which is why we start by understanding your specific symptoms, triggers, and goals.

Psychiatric Evaluation

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and what you’ve tried before. This helps us understand exactly what’s driving your anxiety and create a targeted plan.

Medication Management

For many people, medication is an effective part of anxiety treatment. Several types of medications can help: SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, and, in some cases, short-term use of other medications. We carefully select based on your symptoms and monitor your response.

If you’ve tried anxiety medication before without success, don’t give up. Finding the right fit sometimes takes adjustment.

Genetic Testing

Frustrated with trial-and-error prescribing? Genetic testing analyzes your DNA to identify which medications are most likely to work for you. It takes the guesswork out of treatment and helps you find relief faster.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Your treatment plan is built around your life. We consider your specific type of anxiety, your triggers, your schedule, and your goals. Whether that means medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle changes, or a combination, we create a plan that fits you.

Ongoing Support

Anxiety treatment isn’t one appointment and done. We provide ongoing medication management and regular check-ins to monitor your progress. If something isn’t working, we adjust. You’re never left to figure it out alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everyone responds differently. Some people feel improvement within a few weeks of starting treatment. Others need more time to find the right medication or approach. We monitor your progress closely and adjust as needed.
