Treatment options
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the best-studied treatments for anxiety, and we can help you find a therapist. SSRIs and SNRIs are common first-line medications and are not habit-forming. Your psychiatrist explains benefits, timelines and side effects before you decide.

Anxiety care for Amherst residents
For commuters to Nashua, Manchester and Milford along Route 101A, anxiety often looks like a racing mind at night, tension before work or school, or avoiding things that used to feel easy. Students at Souhegan High School and their parents are welcome, and video visits make it easier to start when leaving home feels hard.
Living in Amherst
Amherst centers on a historic village green surrounded by quiet neighborhoods, Baboosic Lake and wooded back roads. Teens attend Souhegan High School, and many adults commute to Nashua, Manchester or Milford along Route 101A and Route 101.
When worry becomes a disorder
Anxiety becomes a disorder when it is out of proportion to the situation, lasts for months and interferes with work, school, relationships or sleep. Physical symptoms such as muscle tension, stomach upset and fatigue are common.
