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 Laconia residents
For tourism, healthcare and seasonal workers, 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 Lakes Region Community College are welcome too, when they are in New Hampshire for the visit. Seasonal work and long winters can affect sleep and mood for many Lakes Region residents.
Living in Laconia
Laconia's year runs on two speeds: a crowded summer around the lakes and a much quieter winter. Seasonal work, changing routines and long dark months can affect sleep and mood. Most Laconia patients see us by secure video, which removes the long drive south.
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.
Getting care from Laconia
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 15 minutes from Laconia, so most Laconia patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
