What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural stress response, but when worry, fear, or nervousness becomes excessive, persistent, or begins interfering with daily life, it may indicate an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions and can affect thoughts, emotions, behavior, and physical health.
At MIU Center in Lutherville-Timonium, MD, we help patients understand what they're experiencing through a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, then build a treatment plan suited to their specific diagnosis and needs.
