Anxiety
Anxiety is a generic name given to a variety of conditions characterized by unusual amounts of fear and worry, especially unrealistic fears and tension. People who suffer from anxiety often are aware that their fears are irrational, but that knowledge does not make the feeling of being scared and anxious go away. To qualify as anxiety, symptoms must last for 6 months or more and interfere with the way a person lives their daily life. Some cases may be mild, where, for example, a person simply avoids certain situations. Other cases can be severe enough to be disabling.
Some of the specific conditions covered under the general label of anxiety include:
Collectively, anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issues diagnosed in the United States -- even more common than depression. Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with anxiety, and it is extremely common for a person with anxiety to have another illness at the same time, such as depression, a physical illness, or substance abuse.
Treatment for anxiety usually involves medication and psychotherapy together. Medications used may include antidepressants (which also work for anxiety), anti-anxiety medications, or beta blockers (which can be used to control the physical symptoms of anxiety). Psychotherapy can be useful to teach patients new ways of thinking and reacting so that they can manage their feelings of worry and fear. Support groups can also be very effective for anxiety, and they can be a form of treatment themselves for social phobias. Stress management, relaxation techniques, and meditation all help reduce feelings of anxiety or of being out of control. Finally, having a strong support network of family and friends is an excellent way to help manage the difficulties of life with anxiety.

I went to see Dr. Tsai based on the number of 5 star reviews here and while I was in a great deal of pain, I admit I was somewhat skeptical. I have had extreme tension pain in my neck, back and some sports injuries to my hamstrings and knees. Dr. Tsai was very friendly, and confident that I would be ready to tackle an upcoming 10K race by the time he was done. I was a mess with my shoulders in such pain that it felt like pins all along my neck all the time and I was walking with a slight limp and unable to jog for the last 6 months. Well, Dr. Tsai went to work and included cupping to help with circulation and while I walked out of the office feeling good, I waited a few days later when I was able to jog on the treadmill again without limping and was a believer! This was my first experience with Acupuncture and I will be certainly going again. Thank you Dr. Tsai !
