Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the United States, and in New Mexico — where geographic isolation, economic stress, and limited access to care are real challenges — anxiety often goes untreated. Abroi Psychiatry offers telehealth anxiety treatment available to all New Mexico residents, with no long wait lists and no commute required.
Types of Anxiety Disorders
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) — persistent, hard-to-control worry across multiple areas of life
- Social Anxiety Disorder — intense fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations
- Panic Disorder — recurrent panic attacks with ongoing fear of future episodes
- Specific Phobias — disproportionate fear of specific objects or situations
- Agoraphobia — fear of places or situations where escape may be difficult
Anxiety often co-occurs with depression, insomnia, OCD, and PTSD. Learn more about anxiety treatment at Abroi Psychiatry.

Anxiety Treatment Options
Medication
SSRIs (sertraline, escitalopram) and SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine) are first-line medications for most anxiety disorders. Buspirone is a non-habit-forming alternative. Your provider will evaluate your specific symptoms and health history before recommending a plan tailored to you.
Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. Abroi Psychiatry specializes in medication management and actively supports patients in connecting with qualified therapists for a comprehensive approach.
Lifestyle Strategies
Regular exercise, reduced caffeine, improved sleep hygiene, and mindfulness practice all meaningfully reduce anxiety alongside clinical treatment. Your provider will help you build realistic strategies that fit your life.
