Worry is normal. Anxiety becomes a disorder when it is out of proportion, hard to switch off and starts to run your day: you avoid places, cannot sleep, or feel your heart racing for no clear reason. Anxiety disorders are among the most common and most treatable mental health conditions. At Adarsh Brain Care 360, Ashiyana, Lucknow, Dr. Adarsh Tripathi sees patients during the day, and Dr. Aditya Agrawal, who has a special interest in anxiety and OCD, sees patients in the evening.
Types of anxiety we treat
- Generalised anxiety: constant worry about work, health, money or family
- Panic attacks: sudden surges of fear with palpitations, breathlessness, sweating or a feeling of dying
- Social anxiety: fear of being judged in meetings, classes or social events
- Health anxiety and phobias
- Exam and performance anxiety in students and young professionals
What treatment looks like
We begin by separating anxiety from conditions that can look like it, such as thyroid disease, anaemia, caffeine excess or sleeping tablet and alcohol withdrawal. Treatment then combines the options that suit you: medicines (many anxiety medicines are not habit forming, and we explain which ones are), cognitive behavioural therapy with our clinical psychologist Mr. Vinayak Katyayan, breathing and sleep routines you can practise at home, and regular follow-up until symptoms are under control. We do not start long-term sedatives as a first choice.

Common questions
How do I know if it is a panic attack or a heart problem?
Chest pain should always be checked by a doctor first. If heart tests are normal and the episodes keep returning, panic disorder is a common explanation, and it is very treatable.
Is anxiety medicine addictive?
Some tablets can cause dependence, which is why we avoid them for long-term use. Most medicines used for anxiety disorders are not addictive, and the plan is explained at your first visit.
Can therapy alone work?
For mild to moderate anxiety, therapy alone can be enough. More severe anxiety usually improves faster when therapy and medicine are combined.
Is online consultation available?
Yes, at ₹1,000, for follow-ups and many first consultations.
