Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Generalized Anxiety: Disorder is a very treatable situation. People can be prone to strong emotions but the self-talk that is going on can make it either "excitement" or "fear." Please see a mental health professional for support. Also, a good self-help website is www.relaxationresponse.org
