Common Questions

Anxiety in NYC — FAQ.

What's the difference between normal worry and an anxiety disorder?+

Normal worry is proportional to a situation and fades once the situation resolves. An anxiety disorder involves persistent, excessive worry that interferes with daily life, relationships, and work — often about things that aren't proportional to the actual threat.

How quickly can anxiety treatment work?+

Many patients notice improvement within the first few weeks of therapy or medication. CBT typically produces significant results within 8–12 sessions. Medication effects are usually felt within 2–4 weeks.

Do you prescribe medication for anxiety?+

When appropriate, yes. Our psychiatrists may recommend SSRIs, SNRIs, or other medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Medication is always combined with therapeutic strategies for the best outcomes.

Can anxiety be fully cured?+

Many patients achieve full remission of symptoms with proper treatment. Others learn to manage anxiety so effectively that it no longer interferes with daily life. Our goal is lasting improvement, not just symptom suppression.
