Psychiatrist for Anxiety in Ludhiana
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, fear and unease in the body and mind. It can show up as a racing heartbeat, sweating, fast breathing, dizziness or even a panic attack. Anxiety is like a bucket of water: when stressors keep adding to it, sooner or later it overflows.
The good news is that anxiety is treatable. Proper treatment, regular counselling sessions and anxiety-reducing exercises give excellent results. At our clinic, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) helps you identify your triggers and thoughts and learn how to cope with your emotions when you feel anxious.
