Ruling out medical causes
Thyroid problems, high caffeine intake, some medications and other medical issues can cause anxiety-like symptoms, so your psychiatrist asks about physical health and may suggest lab tests.

Anxiety care for Bedford residents
For professionals and business owners commuting to Manchester and along the Route 101 corridor, anxiety often shows up as trouble switching off after work, tension before big days, or poor sleep. Telehealth makes it easier to start care when leaving home feels hard.
Living in Bedford
Bedford families often balance demanding careers with busy school and activity schedules. Parents frequently contact us about anxiety, attention and pressure around academic performance, and many adults look for discreet, efficient care. Follow-ups by video fit well around commutes into Manchester.
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.

From Bedford, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Many Bedford patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
Do you treat anxiety in children?
Yes, from age 4.
Are anxiety medications addictive?
First-line options such as SSRIs are not habit-forming. Some sedatives can be, so we use them cautiously.

Both work. Many people do best with a combination.
