Anxiety Disorders
One-quarter of the population is affected by anxiety disorders, most do not seek treatment. Anxious people use a disproportionate amount of medical services. Some 25% of people with anxiety disorders are unemployed, 1/3 on Public Assistance.
Anti-anxiety medications (Xanax. Valium) alone demonstrate short-term effectiveness but also have a very high rate of relapse.
Community Concern offers treatments including cognitive-behavioral therapies, stress management workshop, exposure therapy, relaxation therapy, and sleep hygiene education to effectively treat anxiety disorders.
