What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is your brain stuck in alarm mode: racing thoughts, tight chest, trouble sleeping, avoiding situations you used to handle fine. It is one of the most common reasons people across Boise and all of Idaho seek psychiatric care, and one of the most treatable. We evaluate what type of anxiety you are dealing with and build a medication plan that targets it.
