Anxiety disorder is a general term that describes excessive worry, nervousness and panic. Symtpoms may include racing, uncontrollable thoughts, feelings of doom, feeling like you might die (a common description of a panic attack) as well as physical symptoms such as racing heart, sweaty palms, upset stomach and headaches.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and more specifically Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) has been shown to be as *effective as medication in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Modern therapy is affordable, even in NYC.
