Dealing With Anxiety and Stress

Anxiety is an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often accompanied by bodily symptoms such as sweating, rapid pulse, muscle tension, shortness of breath etc.

Stress is an event, often a change, which is generally judged by the person to be negative.

What causes stress for one person may not be stressful for someone else.

Anxiety/Stress can cause health problems or make a person’s problems worse. High stress levels have been linked to depression, anxiety, relationship problems, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal problems, an impaired immune system and cancer. The good news is that dealing with anxiety and stress can help to lessen the impact.

Dr. Nadler teaches clients coping strategies such as learning to relax, being assertive, altering the client's views and thoughts about the situation etc. for dealing with anxiety and stress. First, the client recognizes the feelings of anxiety or stress at an early stage, and then he/she selects a means of coping, and finally puts that coping strategy into action.

In addition to generalized and acute anxiety, Dr. Nadler treats panic disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
