Ketamine Therapy for Anxiety

Understanding Anxiety

What Is anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal, often healthy emotion — but when fear, worry, or nervousness become disproportionate, persistent, or interfere with daily life, it may be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting roughly 19% of U.S. adults in any given year, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder.
