If you are then the Anxiety and Panic Treatment Center can help.
We specialize in treating problems just like these. My name is Robert W. McLellarn, PhD, and I am the Director of the Anxiety and Panic treatment Center in Portland Oregon and a licensed psychologist who specializes in the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders. It is my intention that this site becomes a resource for people suffering from anxiety disorders of all kinds. In the months to come I plan to add material regarding the various types of anxiety disorders as well as some tips on the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders.
Anxiety disorders are the most common form of psychological problem in this country. Some reports indicate that up to 20% of people suffer from an anxiety disorder. Many well known people have come forth admitting that they have an anxiety disorder (Donny Osmond, Kim Basinger and Barbra Streisand to name a few). Despite how common these disorders are people are often reluctant to admit that they have an anxiety disorder. Perhaps because of this, people who have anxiety problems usually do not come for treatment - in fact only about 25% of people who have an anxiety disorder receive proper treatment.
