Individualised Anxiety, OCD and PTSD Treatment in Newcastle

Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders in Australia, affecting many people at some point in their lives. The condition can range from mild to severe, with mild anxiety causing fatigue and recurring headaches. More severe anxiety can lead to more significant signs of stress and worry, such as panic attacks.

Sometimes these fears and obsessive thoughts can be centered on germs or ensuring that things are in order. These fears and obsessions can create ritualistic behaviours that can begin to interfere with the individual’s daily life. The individual can begin to feel immense fear when in situations that trigger such fearful thoughts and obsessions.

Obsessive compulsive disorder can lead to depression and exhaustion from trying to maintain ritualistic behaviours. Dr. Pek Ang can help diagnose this disorder and then provide obsessive compulsive disorder treatment solutions so that hope and contentment can be brought back into the individual’s life.

Talk therapy and certain medications can be effective in treating obsessive compulsive disorder. Dr. Pek Ang, located in Newcastle, is eager to provide individuals with lasting relief with the help of personalised obsessive compulsive disorder treatment.

Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is typically caused by experiencing a deeply traumatic event. The symptoms are often similar to those of other disorders, such as anxiety and depression, making PTSD difficult to diagnose. At Dr Pek Ang's clinic, we know how to help people with PTSD, so give us a call for help.

Since everyone experiences mental disorders differently, there are many different coping mechanisms that can be used. You can try deep breathing to calm an anxiety attack so you can think more clearly, or you can ask an experienced psychiatrist like Dr Pek Ang to help you develop more specific coping mechanisms.
