Anxiety

Anxiety fills people's lives with overwhelming worry and fear. Unlike the relatively brief anxiety caused by stressful life events, symptoms of anxiety disorders are persistent and can become debilitating if not treated.

The different types of anxiety disorders include:

  • Panic disorder: Panic attacks and avoidance of situations where these might occur
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder: Obsessive thoughts or rituals
  • Social phobia: Avoidance of social situations due to fear of humiliation
  • Specific phobias: Abnormal fear of heights, snakes, enclosed spaces, etc.
  • Generalized anxiety disorder: Persistent, exhausting worries about usual life events
  • Post-tramautic stress disorder: Re-experiencing of trauma and avoidance of its reminders
If you have had some of the above symptoms, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Similar to other medical conditions, anxiety can be treated. Cedars-Sinai's Psychiatry Research can help.

Psychiatry Research is currently conducting clinical trials dealing with anxiety disorders and their symptoms. Qualified clinical trial participants will receive study medication, physical exams and laboratory tests at no cost.
