Anxiety & OCD Treatment for Adults
Does your mind keep running even when everything is fine? Some anxiety is part of being human, but when worry, tension or intrusive thoughts start shaping your days, your sleep and your relationships, it’s worth looking at more closely, with care that’s thoughtful, unhurried and tailored to you.
How Anxiety and OCD Can Show Up
Constant worry or overthinking, even when things are going well
Intrusive thoughts that feel distressing or out of character
Trouble sleeping, muscle tension, or a stomach that reacts to stress
Checking, reviewing or seeking reassurance to feel at ease
Anxiety rarely shows up alone. It often overlaps with ADHD, depression, or burnout, and understanding how they connect is an important part of the evaluation.
Evaluation and Treatment
Evaluation begins with a full-hour appointment covering your history, what has or hasn’t helped before, and how sleep, stress, physical health, and life circumstances affect your symptoms.
Treatment is chosen together. For anxiety, SSRIs and SNRIs and other non-habit-forming medications are common options. For OCD, SSRIs are the most studied, and they work best alongside exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, so Viewpoint works closely with your therapist. The approach is to start low, adjust carefully, and pay attention to sleep, caffeine, alcohol, and cannabis, which all affect anxiety.
