How treatment works
After an evaluation, your psychiatrist will talk through options. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the best-studied treatments for anxiety, and we can help connect you with a therapist. Medication, such as certain antidepressants, can reduce symptoms for many people; we explain timelines and side effects before you decide. We avoid relying on short-term sedating medications as the main long-term plan.
Practical care for busy Nashua schedules
Our office is at 215 South Broadway in Salem, NH, about a 30-minute drive east of Nashua. Many Nashua patients also use secure telehealth visits from home, so you do not have to choose between the care you need and the time you have.
Frequently asked questions
Is anxiety medication addictive?
Most first-line anxiety medications, such as SSRIs, are not habit-forming. Some sedatives can be, which is why we use them cautiously.
How soon will I feel better?
Therapy skills can help within weeks. Medications often take 4 to 8 weeks for full effect.
Do you treat anxiety in children?
Yes, our child and adolescent psychiatrists treat anxiety in children from age 4.
What if I have panic attacks during the day?
Your psychiatrist can help you build a plan for managing attacks. If you ever have chest pain or trouble breathing, seek emergency care first to rule out a medical cause.
