Karner Psychological Associates Stress and Anxiety Clinic
Anxiety is a common complaint. Next to substance abuse, anxiety, anxiety attacks, anxiety disorders and generalized anxiety are the second most common mental health problem.
One recent estimate suggests 24 million Americans suffer from anxiety disorders. Nearly five percent of women and two percent of men have experienced panic, agoraphobia, or other phobias.
Following are the main categories of anxiety treated by mental health providers. For more detail on a specific disorder, click on that disorder’s name. You will be taken to an information page provided by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. These screening tools can be very useful if you suspect that you, or someone you love, might be suffering from an anxiety disorder.
Certainly, if you are suffering anxiety that is interfering with your life, you will benefit from a consult with a mental health professional trained in the treatment of anxiety. We can help.

Panic Disorder: develops when you have multiple panic attacks and then become very worried about having another panic attack (a panic attack is defined as the abrupt onset of an episode of intense fear or discomfort, which peaks in approximately 10 minutes).
