Is Anxiety a Mental Illness?

Yes. Anxiety is a mental illness, affecting up to 40 million adults in the USA. These epidemiology numbers make anxiety one of the most common mental disorders.

While occasional stress and danger-driven anxiety is quite normal, anxiety disorder is characterized by a constant and overwhelming sense of fear and worry. Having an anxiety disorder makes it a little more difficult to lead a fulfilling life, as it may affect both personal and professional relationships.

How is Anxiety Diagnosed?

Self -assessing and taking online anxiety disorder tests can give you a good idea about whether or not you need to a mental health specialist.  When you do go in to see one, a mental health specialist will diagnose anxiety disorder based on the diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)

The mental health professional will want to know more about your medical history and the symptoms you have been experienced. You can expect the doctor to do a physical exam, and order different types of tests, including blood and urine tests, if they suspect an underlying medical condition may be the cause of your anxiety.

Are Your Services Covered by Insurance?

Unfortunately, our services are not covered by insurance at the moment. However, if you have an out-of-network provider coverage, we will be happy to provide you with all the required documentation (i.e., a detailed receipt with the diagnosis procedure codes) so that you can submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement. Also please note that we keep our prices as low as possible.

Will the Prescription Be Issued on the Day of My Appointment?
