What is anxiety?

More than everyday worry

Anxiety is a normal response to stress. An anxiety disorder is different: the fear or worry is intense, lasts for months, and starts to get in the way of work, school, relationships and daily life.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the U.S., and they are highly treatable. At Jersey Behavioral Health, we treat anxiety through our PHP, IOP and Virtual IOP, with therapy, skills and medication support tailored to you.
