How To Diagnose and Treat Your Anxiety
I've been a psychologist in private practice in Southern California for over twenty-one years.
I treat all kinds of anxiety disorders. People call me up and tell me their symptoms. Here's
some you might have:
Apprehension, tension, uneasiness, anticipation of danger, motor tension, autonomic hyperactivity, fears, preoccupations, repetitive thoughts |
Vigilance, scanning, avoidance of situations or things, panic sensations, heart palpitations, sweaty palms, rapid breathing , rigid or repetitive behaviors |
People schedule an office visit. I ask them a full range of questions about their experiences,
and help them decide whether they actually need a psychologist. I go through a very well-
honed process. Here's some more symptoms:
Hypochondriasis, trembling, twitching, feeling shaky, muscle tension, aches or soreness, headaches, dry mouth, dizziness, |
Nausea, chest pains, restlessness, easy fatiguing, shortness of breath or smothering sensations, sweating, cold or clammy hands |
For the experience, clients pay for an office visit, plus often have to deal with managed care
or their insurance. After having done this with clients for a long time, I decided to write an
ebook. I call it "How To Diagnose and Treat Your Anxiety." It's so people can do this
themselves. It's about 46 pages and includes what I do with each client. Each series of questions and considerations is presented in the order I do it in the office. But you can follow along and do this yourself and pay only a fraction of what I charge
for an office visit. This ebook will help you identify symptoms of anxiety, and
show you how to rate the frequency and severity of your symptoms. There's also a
description of the seven basic types (clinical categories) of anxiety disorders. Here's some more symptoms:
Lightheadedness, diarrhea or other abdominal distress, flushing, hot flashes, chills, sleep problems, racing thoughts |
Frequent urination, trouble swallowing, exaggerated startle response, difficulty concentrating, "blank" mind |
You get the idea. This ebook shows you how to figure out where you "fall" relative to others.
The charts are simple to interpret and right away you'll know whether or not to call a
therapist. This process is the one I've used for years. You are following along with my
thinking. It is straightforward, clear and effective. But at the same time, this is much more
comprehensive, clinically accurate than simple internet checklists. And, it's inexpensive! Near
the end, I've included some basic treatment strategies that you usually don't get in a book
or on the Internet, but again, can pay for (if you want) by seeing a professional.
Many of
you
do not need a therapist, and even if you do, the techniques I walk you through will
decrease
your anxiety symptoms without paying big bucks. The treatment strategies are
surprisingly
helpful. For those of you who do need a therapist, this material will clearly show
you why and outline the category or categories into which your symptoms fall. You will know
the exact information to give a professional, if you need one. (This will help you to effectively"shop" for a therapist.) It also can be used to help others realize they may need some help,
especially if they are in denial. While it is not meant to substitute for a professional's
judgment and training, this ebook will go a long way towards using professional
knowledge to help you or someone you know make a very informed decision about their
experiences of anxiety. It will provide direction, greater certainty and relief, especially if your
symptoms are a mystery. Here's a couple of comments from past purchasers...
