How we approach Treatment Generalized Anxiety Disorder at Bubblegum & Duct Tape Wellness begins with understanding the nature of GAD itself—a psychiatric condition in which anxiety is not just a temporary response to stress but a chronic and overwhelming state. Through our telehealth support across Oregon, Washington, and Montana, we make high-quality anxiety care easily accessible, offering secure virtual sessions that allow adults to receive support from the comfort of home. While it is normal to worry about an upcoming event such as an examination or job interview, individuals with GAD experience persistent anxiety that makes it difficult to relax. This ongoing worry can become so severe that it interferes with daily life, including school, work, and relationships.
Treatment Generalized Anxiety Disorder focuses on addressing these persistent symptoms, with our clinicians emphasizing personalized plans that help patients regain balance and stability. Many patients begin with a brief consultation↗ before choosing a care plan. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is very common, affecting millions of people in the United States, with women being more than twice as likely as men to experience it, making effective Treatment Generalized Anxiety Disorder essential for long-term well-being.

How do I know if my anxiety might be Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
GAD often shows up as persistent, uncontrollable worry that affects your daily life. You may feel tense, restless, or overwhelmed even when nothing specific is wrong. Difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, and constant “what if” thoughts are also common.
If anxiety feels like it’s taking over your thoughts, routine, or relationships, that’s a strong sign it’s time to reach out for support. -
What does treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder usually look like?
Treatment is personalized, but it often includes a combination of:
• Medication management to reduce physical symptoms of anxiety
• Therapy referrals for tools that help calm the mind and body
• Stress and sleep support to stabilize your nervous system
Your provider works with you step-by-step, helping you understand options and choose what feels right for your needs and comfort level. -
How do I know which anxiety treatment approach is right for me?
Your provider will help you determine the best approach by reviewing your symptoms, lifestyle, past treatment history, and personal preferences.
Some people benefit most from therapy, some from medication, and many from a combination of both. The goal is a plan that feels manageable, effective, and tailored to you.
