Anxiety, as per the American Psychological Association, is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.
To those that suffer from it, it may be comforting to know that it’s quite prevalent and you’re far from the only one who’s experiencing it. Nearly 1 in 5 adults, 19.1% to be exact, had an anxiety disorder in the past year and an estimated 31.1% experience any anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. The numbers areeven higher among those aged 13-18.

Fortunately, there are plenty of anxiety treatments available and it’s not something that needs to dictate how you live. Among the most effective treatment options is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT is a type of psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” that essentially is used to identify negative thought patterns that can lead to anxiety and the situations that make it flare up. The idea is that what we think, how we feel and how we behave are all closely connected – and all of these factors have a decisive influence on our well-being. Shifting how we think or perceive something, therefore, can work wonders for anxiety.
The beauty of these types of talk therapy programs is that they can be done in our Los Angeles outpatient rehab center, penciled in to accommodate your regular schedule.
