Anxiety Does Not Always Look Like Panic

Many people live with anxiety for years before recognizing it as anxiety. That is because anxiety does not always present as obvious panic or dread. Many common presentations feel more like a personality trait or a lifestyle problem than a clinical condition.

Patients who come to Psych Dimensions for anxiety treatment frequently describe experiences like these before they ever use the word anxiety:

  • Persistent worry about everyday things, including work performance, health, money, and relationships, that they cannot seem to turn off
  • Physical tension that is always present, especially in the shoulders, chest, or stomach
  • Fatigue that is disproportionate to how much they have actually done
  • Difficulty concentrating or completing tasks even when there are no external distractions
  • Irritability that feels out of proportion to the situation
  • Sleep problems, particularly trouble falling asleep because of racing thoughts
  • Avoidance of situations, conversations, or commitments because of anticipated anxiety


If several of those sound familiar, a psychiatric evaluation is a reasonable next step. The evaluation determines whether what you are experiencing is a clinical anxiety disorder, what type, and what approach is most appropriate.

Types of Anxiety We Treat in Georgetown

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

Ongoing, excessive worry that occurs on most days and affects multiple areas of life. People with GAD often describe a sense of being unable to turn their thoughts off even when they know the worry is disproportionate to the situation.

Panic Disorder.

Recurring panic attacks, sudden surges of intense fear with physical symptoms including heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and chest tightness. Between attacks, patients often develop fear of future attacks.

Social Anxiety Disorder.

Significant anxiety in social or performance situations, often accompanied by concern about being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized. This is distinct from introversion. It causes functional impairment.

Health Anxiety.

Persistent worry about serious illness despite medical reassurance. Patients often cycle through medical appointments without relief.

Situational and Adjustment Related Anxiety.

Anxiety that develops in response to a specific stressor, such as job loss, relationship breakdown, a medical diagnosis, or a major life transition. Often time limited but requiring treatment when it becomes disabling.

How Psych Dimensions Approaches Anxiety Treatment

Step 1: Holistic psychiatric evaluation for anxiety.

A thorough holistic psychiatry evaluation is the starting point. The provider reviews your symptoms, how long they have been present, what makes them worse or better, and how they are affecting your ability to function. The evaluation also considers whether co-occurring conditions, since depression commonly accompanies anxiety, are part of the picture.

Step 2: Individualized treatment plan.

A thorough holistic psychiatry evaluation is the starting point. The provider reviews your symptoms, how long they have been present, what makes them worse or better, and how they are affecting your ability to function. The evaluation also considers whether co-occurring conditions, since depression commonly accompanies anxiety, are part of the picture.

Step 3: Ongoing care and monitoring.

Anxiety treatment is not a single appointment. Whether you are on medication, in therapy, or both, the team monitors your progress, adjusts the plan when needed, and continues to support you as your situation changes.

Medication Management for Anxiety

When medication is part of the treatment plan, the team at Psych Dimensions manages it carefully. Medication management for anxiety at this practice means:

  • Selecting the right class of medication for your specific anxiety presentation
  • Starting at an appropriate dose and explaining what to expect
  • Monitoring for response and side effects at follow up appointments
  • Adjusting the dose or trying a different medication when the initial choice is not working well
  • Considering when medication may no longer be necessary


Medication is not automatically the first recommendation. For some anxiety presentations, especially mild to moderate generalized anxiety, therapy alone produces excellent outcomes. For moderate to severe anxiety, or anxiety that has not responded to therapy alone, medication is often the appropriate addition.

Therapy for Anxiety at Psych Dimensions Georgetown

Psych Dimensions provides anxiety treatment through both psychiatry and therapy. Therapists at this practice use evidence based modalities that are specifically effective for anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

The most extensively researched therapy for anxiety. CBT works by identifying the thought patterns and behavioral responses that maintain anxiety, and building skills to change them.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Incorporates mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation skills. Particularly useful for anxiety with significant emotional reactivity or avoidance patterns.

Solution Focused Therapy.

A goal oriented collaborative approach that focuses on creating specific, achievable changes rather than extensive exploration of the past.

Because psychiatry and therapy are available within the same practice, patients who need both do not have to coordinate between two separate providers. The team at Psych Dimensions communicates internally.

Dr. Thomas at Psych Dimensions in Georgetown, Texas has been wonderful to work with. I’ve had both face-to-face and video appointments, and every experience has been positive. Dr. Thomas took the time to truly get to know me and made me feel heard and understood. He listened carefully and worked thoughtfully with me to address my anxiety and insomnia rather than rushing through appointments. I always felt supported and respected, and I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received. I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive psychiatrist.
