Anxiety can affect how you think, feel and behave. Common symptoms include excessive worrying, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, sleep difficulties, a racing heartbeat and shortness of breath. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may interfere with work, relationships and daily life.

Anxiety is assessed through a clinical consultation in which our clinician at Retrieve Mind Poly clinic will discuss your symptoms, medical history, emotional wellbeing and how anxiety affects your daily life. Standardised questionnaires may also be used when appropriate. The assessment helps identify the nature of your concerns and determine a suitable treatment plan.

Anxiety treatment may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), other forms of psychotherapy, medication when clinically indicated, or a combination of approaches. Your treatment plan will depend on your symptoms, their severity, personal circumstances and preferences. At Retrieve Mind Poly Clinic, the appropriate approach is discussed following an individual assessment.

The duration of anxiety treatment varies depending on the type of anxiety, symptom severity, treatment approach and individual progress. Some people benefit from a structured course of CBT, while others may need longer-term psychological support or medication management. Our clinician will review your progress and discuss your treatment plan with you.

Many people experience significant improvement in anxiety symptoms with appropriate treatment and support. Some may recover from a particular episode of anxiety, while others may experience symptoms that fluctuate over time. Treatment can help you manage anxiety, recognize triggers and develop coping strategies to improve your quality of life.
