Do you worry excessively about many things?

Want to stop worrying, but can't feel at ease?

Anyone can feel anxious, but if your worry is out of proportion to the situation, hard to stop on your own, and affects daily life, it is worth looking into. In generalized anxiety disorder in particular, worry about many things such as health, work, and family lasts a long time, and restlessness, muscle tension, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and sleep problems may appear together. Because there are several types of anxiety disorders, we look together at what triggers your anxiety, how long it lasts, and how it affects your life.

FAQ

For any other questions, please ask when booking your visit.

Can I consult you before being diagnosed?

If anxiety is making daily life difficult, please tell us when the symptoms began and how they affect your life. Even without a previous diagnosis, we check your current condition, existing conditions, and medications, and advise on what evaluation and counseling are needed.

Should I also mention physical discomfort when I'm anxious?

Please also tell us about physical discomfort that appears when you are anxious. We check the situations in which symptoms occur, how long they last, and previous test results. We do not assume that all physical symptoms are due to anxiety, and we consider whether any evaluation is needed.

What should I prepare before the consultation?

Briefly note the situations in which anxiety gets worse, how it changes during the day, and your sleep and eating. It also helps to note what is especially difficult at work or in relationships, and any previous counseling or treatment.

Can I take herbal medicine together with other medications?

Whether they can be taken together must be decided after checking the type of medication, the prescription details, and your physical condition. Please give us a list of all your medications and supplements, and do not stop or change the dose of prescribed medication on your own.

Do you also give advice on lifestyle habits?

We look at your sleep, meals, daily activities, and stressful situations together. Rather than recommending the same lifestyle care to everyone, we check your current condition and daily routine and discuss care you can actually put into practice.

How much does anxiety disorder care cost?

For an accurate estimate, please consult with us after your visit. Costs may vary depending on the degree of discomfort, previous treatment, and the treatment method chosen after the examination. During the consultation, we will explain the care plan along with the cost.
