Living with anxiety and panic disorders in Massachusetts can feel isolating — but these are among the most common, and most treatable, mental health conditions in the country. Whether you experience racing thoughts that won’t quiet, a persistent sense of dread, or sudden, overwhelming panic attacks, what you’re feeling is real. And professional support can genuinely help.
Anxiety disorders go beyond everyday stress. They can interfere with work, strain relationships, disrupt sleep, and make once-ordinary situations feel impossible. Panic attacks — sudden surges of intense fear with physical symptoms like chest tightness, dizziness, or shortness of breath — can arrive without warning and leave you afraid of when the next one will come.
The good news: with the right psychiatric care, most people with anxiety disorders experience significant improvement. At Massachusetts Psychiatry, we’re here to help you understand what’s happening and find a treatment approach that works for your life.
Common Signs of Anxiety and Panic Disorders
Symptoms can vary, but these experiences often signal it’s time to reach out to a mental health professional.
CONSTANT WORRY
Excessive, hard-to-control worry about everyday events, health, work, or relationships that persists most days.
SOCIAL AVOIDANCE
Pulling back from social situations, work responsibilities, or daily activities because anxiety feels overwhelming.
AVOIDANCE AND ESCAPE
Repeatedly avoiding situations, places, or activities that trigger anxiety — narrowing your world to feel safe.
SLEEP DISRUPTION
Difficulty falling or staying asleep, racing thoughts at night, or waking with a sense of dread before the day begins.
PHYSICAL TENSION
Chronic muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, or an upset stomach — your body’s way of holding the anxiety you carry.
PANIC ATTACKS
Sudden episodes of intense fear with physical symptoms: racing heart, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get anxiety treatment online in Massachusetts?
Yes. Massachusetts Psychiatry offers fully virtual psychiatric appointments for anxiety and panic disorders. You meet with a board-certified psychiatrist from anywhere in Massachusetts via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform — no in-person visit required.
Does Massachusetts Psychiatry prescribe medication for anxiety?
Yes. Our psychiatrist provides thorough psychiatric evaluations and, when clinically appropriate, prescribes and manages medication for anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and related conditions. Medication management includes ongoing follow-up to monitor your response and make adjustments as needed.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist for anxiety?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD) who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, including prescribing medication. A therapist provides talk therapy but cannot prescribe medication. For anxiety disorders — especially when medication may be helpful — a psychiatrist is the appropriate specialist. Many patients benefit from working with both a psychiatrist and a therapist simultaneously.
How does telepsychiatry work for panic disorder?
Telepsychiatry for panic disorder works just like an in-person psychiatric appointment, except it happens through a secure video platform from the comfort of your own home. You’ll have a thorough evaluation, receive a diagnosis, and discuss treatment options — including medication management and therapy coordination — all virtually.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Availability varies, but we strive to offer new patient appointments within a reasonable timeframe. The best way to find out current availability is to reach out through our contact page or scheduling form. We offer evening and weekend slots to accommodate busy schedules.
