UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING
GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER
Dr. Sridhar Yaratha
INTRODUCTION
The former director of inpatient psychiatry at the VA Medical Center
in Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha has treated adult
psychiatric patients at Gateway Homes since 2006. Dr. Sridhar
Yaratha utilizes a number of interventions to treat patients with
generalized anxiety disorder.
People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) may experience
persistent symptoms that interfere with their daily lives, including
difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, fatigue, or sleep
disturbances. Anxiety disorder responds well to cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT), a form of talk therapy that trains people
to shift their thinking about specific issues in order to find relief.
CBT relies on the principle that thoughts inform feelings and
emotions. By reframing thoughts and beliefs, people can change
their feelings and behaviors.
Treatment for GAD might also include a regimen of daily exercise,
breathing techniques, or progressive muscle relaxation to help
people clear the tension in their bodies. In some cases,
antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRIs) that provide immediate relief may be necessary to manage
GAD symptoms.
