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.

Anxiety care for Durham residents
For university faculty and staff, students and Seacoast commuters, 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. Students at the University of New Hampshire are welcome too, when they are in New Hampshire for the visit. Students who split the year between home and campus need to plan visits for times when they are in New Hampshire.
Living in Durham
Durham is shaped by the University of New Hampshire, with faculty, staff and students alongside long-time residents. Students should remember that video visits must take place while they are physically in New Hampshire, which matters during breaks at home in another state.
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.
Getting care from Durham
From Durham, our Salem office is about 50 minutes by car. Many Durham patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
