Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety: that wakes you from sleep. Please begin w/a visit to your doctor. He/she can help determine if there is a thyroid, glucose, or other imbalance that is the cause or contributing to the situation. After that, consider seeing a clinical psychologist to learn ways to manage your anxiety. Peace and good health.
