Don’t Let Anxiety or Depression Run Your Life

Life is full of stressful events and challenges. Each person handles it differently. For some, depression or anxiety exist with a trigger. For others, there may be no obvious trigger.

In fact, anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health conditions facing Americans.

Treatment is available that makes a difference. For example, therapy and medication together are medically proven to help many if not most people, when properly performed and prescribed. Click to read Dr. Weiss article comparing anxiety treatment and anti-anxiety medications.

Non-pharmaceutical and ancillary options can also be effective. Dr. Weiss is experienced in treatments to overcome symptoms of anxiety and depression for the short and long term.

Therapy with Dr. Weiss

The Myth of Happy All the Time

Social pressure to be happy all the time is unrealistic for everyone.  Yet we sometimes judge ourselves harshly for not being “better” at life.

We are surrounded by pressure to be more productive, wealthier, attractive, accomplished. We might feel we are supposed to sail through something complicated and hard, like grieving.

It’s a formula for emotional struggle. Therapy is a safe place to explore life and learn ways to navigate and define what is true for you.

Be your own best friend.

Dr. Weiss works with his patients to develop techniques for self-support.

Your entire life has led to this moment. Therapy is a great way to replace self-destructive themes and their origins–so you can heal, and come to terms with what is getting in the way of experiencing life’s joys.

Dr. Weiss works with patients to replace the concept of “happiness” with the reality of life well-lived.

Options for Treatment

Therapy, and medication (if needed), are proven in many cases to be a powerful aid to overcome psychiatric roadblocks to mental health.

Other non-medication options are specific to particular symptoms or overall health for a better mind and body relationship.

A combination is sometimes the right choice.

Those decisions are best determined between the patient and Dr. Weiss.

Effective treatment is not one-size-fits-all.

– Patient of Dr. Weiss

 Dr. Weiss is a patient listener and readily asks intuitive questions to get to the heart of the problem. In a very short period of time he had recommendations for my wife to consider eliminating certain medications that might be causing her some health issues. Her doctors took the advice of Dr. Weiss giving my wife wonderful relief. We are both pleased with the results and impressed with Dr. Weiss.

– Dr. Weiss’ Client

Dr.Weiss is very laid back and easy to talk to. He cares for his patients, identifies the problem, and then solves it. He is an exceptional doctor. Great service.

– Patient of Dr. Weiss

I am a clinical social worker. I have referred many of my clients to Dr. Weiss to [help] treat their depression, anxiety and/or symptoms related to PTSD. My clients consistently report receiving prompt, professional and effective help. He has also been readily available to consult with me and answer my questions not only about medication, but also relevant clinical issues around addiction, nutrition and dual diagnosis. I recommend Dr. Weiss both for his work with my clients and as a collaborative colleague.
