What is Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety Disorders (GAD) is one of the most common types of anxiety disorders.
It involves excessive fear and worry. How do we differentiate between OCD and GAD? Although both are anxiety based disorders, they are different:
OCD: Involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behavior/rituals to ease anxiety.
GAD: involves constant and excessive worry about every day issues, without compulsions.
In addition to GAD, we also treat Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Specific Phobia, and Selective Mutism. Selective Mutism involves difficulty speaking in certain situations despite being able to speak in uncomfortable situations (e.g. child talks at home but not at school). This interferes with daily or academic life and lasts more than a month.
Perfectionism is another important issue we recognize and address.
Perfectionism can be seen across various conditions and can contribute to challenges such as chronic stress, procrastination, low self-esteem, and burnout. Perfectionism is seen by many as a positive characteristic, but it can have some significant drawbacks including:
- Chronic Stress & Anxiety
- Fear of Failure
- Low Self-Esteem
- Relationship Struggles
- Procrastination
- General Lack of Satisfaction
At New Heights OCD & Anxiety, we draw upon evidence- based therapies to treat anxiety disorders including Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
