Anxiety disorders
When is anxiety more than ordinary stress?
Anxiety is more than ordinary stress when fear or worry is out of proportion to the situation and gets in the way of work, school or relationships.
NIMH calls this an anxiety disorder, a mental health condition that includes generalized anxiety, panic disorder and social anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a core treatment for each one.
Ordinary worry
A deadline or a new job can make anyone tense. That feeling matches the event, and it eases once the event is over.
An anxiety disorder
The worry or fear stays even when nothing is wrong, and panic or avoidance can start to limit where you go and what you do.
What anxiety treatment includes
Your treatment plan uses the therapies below, and your clinical team adjusts the mix as your anxiety symptoms change.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
CBT helps you notice anxious thoughts, test whether they are true, and practice skills for the moment worry starts.
Exposure therapy
A part of CBT where you face feared situations in small, planned steps until they trigger less fear.
Individual and group therapy
Sessions led by licensed therapists, including groups where adults with anxiety practice their skills together.
Medication management
A licensed psychiatrist decides whether medication fits your plan, prescribes it when it does, and reviews how it is working.
When to call
Signs you may need treatment
You may need anxiety treatment if you notice signs like these, and an assessment can tell what's behind them.
- You worry for most of the day, on most days.
- You have panic attacks with a pounding heart and an urge to escape.
- You skip places, calls or classes to avoid feeling anxious.
- You cannot fall asleep because your thoughts keep racing.
- You keep checking your body for signs that something is wrong.
- You use alcohol or drugs to calm your anxiety.
Weekly therapy may be enough if
- Your worry matches a real problem in your life.
- You still go to work, school and social plans.
- You feel safe, and weekly sessions are helping.
If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.

Common questions about anxiety treatment
If your question is not answered here, call admissions at (714) 862-1907.
What is the 3-3-3 rule?
It is a grounding exercise where you name three things you see and three you hear, then move three parts of your body. It can help in the moment, but it does not treat an anxiety disorder.
What types of anxiety disorders do you treat?
We treat generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety and phobias, along with anxiety that comes with depression, trauma or substance use.
What is the difference between outpatient and IOP?
Outpatient care means regular therapy sessions. IOP means more sessions across the week, for anxiety that is disrupting your days.
How does CBT help?
CBT helps you notice the fear that something bad will happen, test whether it is true, and stop avoiding situations. NIMH describes it as a core treatment for anxiety.
Can OCD cause constant anxiety?
Yes. OCD and anxiety often overlap, because obsessions bring intense worry and compulsions are an attempt to ease it. Tell admissions about thoughts you cannot stop or things you feel you have to keep checking.
How is obsessive-compulsive disorder treated?
OCD is usually treated with exposure and response prevention, a form of CBT. If the assessment points to OCD and anxiety together, admissions will talk through the right care, including a referral.
How do I stop obsessing over anxiety symptoms?
Checking your body again and again tends to keep the worry going. CBT teaches you to notice the urge to check, delay it, and let the feeling pass.
Is medication always required as part of anxiety treatment?
No. Many people do well with therapy for anxiety alone, and a licensed psychiatrist decides with you whether medication would help.
Can anxiety treatment help when substance use is also present?
Yes. Our dual diagnosis care treats anxiety and substance use together in one treatment program.
Does health insurance cover anxiety treatment at a Tustin treatment center?
Enhance is in network with most insurance plans, and admissions checks your mental health benefits before you start. Benefits vary, and verification does not guarantee coverage.
