Anxiety treatment

Addressing chronic worry and hypervigilance through circuit-specific interventions. Anxiety reflects right frontal underactivation (reduced inhibition over limbic system), amygdala hypersensitivity to threat, and sympathetic nervous system dominance. Different anxiety phenotypes require different approaches. Generalized anxiety shows chronic worry and right frontal alpha excess. Social anxiety involves theory-of-mind network hyperactivation. Panic disorder reflects interoceptive sensitivity and catastrophic interpretation. OCD shows anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal dysregulation. QEEG reveals your pattern. Interventions include right frontal alpha neurofeedback, HRV training for autonomic regulation, exposure therapy for fear extinction, medication targeting specific neurotransmitter systems, and sleep optimization. Chronic anxiety impairs prefrontal function—treatment restores executive control over limbic reactivity.
