Anxiety is a common but often overwhelming condition that can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. While occasional stress and worry are normal, persistent anxiety can become debilitating, leading to physical symptoms, emotional distress, and avoidance behaviors.
At Ease Psychiatry, we provide comprehensive telehealth anxiety treatment for residents of Portland, Oregon. Our licensed mental health professionals offer personalized therapy, medication management, and evidence-based treatment plans to help individuals regain control and find relief from anxiety symptoms—all from the comfort of home.
Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders can take many forms, including:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – Persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations, often accompanied by restlessness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
- Panic Disorder – Sudden episodes of intense fear (panic attacks) that cause physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
- Social Anxiety Disorder – Fear of social situations and interactions, leading to avoidance and distress.
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Anxiety and distress triggered by a past traumatic event.
- Specific Phobias – Intense fear of certain objects, places, or situations that disrupt daily life.

Anxiety affects both the mind and body, with common symptoms including:
- Persistent worry or fear that is difficult to control.

- Trouble sleeping, including insomnia or frequent nightmares.
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally overwhelmed.
