Anxiety feels like a weight you can’t put down. It follows you from the moment you wake up until you try to sleep at night. For some, it is a constant hum of worry. For others, it comes in sudden, terrifying waves that make you feel like you are losing control or having a heart attack.
If this sounds like your daily life, you should know that you aren’t alone and you don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle.
At Sound Minds Psychiatry and Mental Health Services, we help people in Grand Prairie and across the DFW area find their way back to a sense of calm. Our lead provider, Anselm Onyeneke (APRN PMHNP-BC), works alongside Adaobi Egwuonwu (APRN PMHNP-BC) and Dr. Azeza Uddin MD to provide professional psychiatric care that puts your comfort first.
Understanding Anxiety and Panic
Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed about work or family. It is a physical and mental state where your “fight or flight” system stays turned on even when there is no danger.
Common signs of anxiety disorders include:
- Constant racing thoughts that you can’t quiet.
- Feeling restless or “on edge” most of the day.
- Trouble falling asleep because your mind is scanning for problems.
- Physical symptoms like a tight chest, sweating, or an upset stomach.
- Avoiding places or people because you’re afraid of how you’ll feel.
Panic disorders are slightly different. They involve sudden, intense periods of fear called panic attacks. These attacks often peak within minutes. During a panic attack, you might feel like you can’t breathe or that something terrible is about to happen.
Personalized Treatment Plans
We don’t believe in a one size fits all approach to mental health. Every person has a different history and different goals for their recovery. When you meet with our team, we start with a full evaluation to understand exactly what you are going through.
Your treatment might include a combination of:
Medication Management
Sometimes, your brain chemistry needs a little help to get back into balance. We use evidence based medications to help lower the volume of your anxiety so you can focus on getting better.
Therapy and Coaching
Talking through your triggers can help you learn new ways to react when you feel a panic attack coming on. We focus on practical tools you can use the moment you leave our office.
