What is generalized anxiety disorder?
Being diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to know that it’s a common and treatable condition. GAD involves excessive worry about various aspects of life, such as work, health, relationships, or everyday tasks. The severity of GAD can vary from person to person—it can range from mild, where it’s manageable with support, to more severe, where it significantly impacts daily life. While it is not life-threatening, untreated GAD can lead to other challenges, such as physical health issues (e.g., headaches, digestive problems, sleep disturbances) and difficulties with maintaining relationships or productivity. Seeking help is a great first step toward managing it effectively. It could be helpful to start with a diagnostic evaluation to assess the severity of your GAD symptoms and to see if you might be experiencing additional mental health challenges or even neurodevelopmental differences. Treatment Options for GAD: 1. Therapy: - Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is considered the gold standard for treating GAD. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and learning healthier ways to respond to worry. - Mindfulness-Based therapies can help you stay grounded in the present moment and reduce overthinking. - Other forms of therapy, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), can also be helpful. 2. Medication: - Contact your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or psychiatrist for a medication consultation to see if medication could help manage your GAD symptoms. 3. Lifestyle Modifications: - Regular physical activity can significantly reduce anxiety by releasing endorphins and improving sleep. - Practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or yoga can help manage symptoms. - Maintaining a healthy diet and reducing caffeine or alcohol consumption can also make a difference. 4. Support Systems: - Connecting with a support group or talking openly with trusted friends or family members can reduce feelings of isolation. - Therapy groups specifically for individuals with anxiety can provide a sense of community and practical tools. 5. Stress Management: - Learning time management skills and problem-solving strategies can help reduce stressors in your life that contribute to anxiety. What's the Takeaway? With the right treatment plan, many individuals with GAD are able to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives. If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to a licensed therapist or psychiatrist to discuss the best options for you. Treatment is often most effective when it’s personalized to your specific needs. READ MORE

Get to know Psychologist Dr. Jazmin Burns, who serves patients in Texas.

A trusted psychologist, Dr. Burns is the Founder and Owner of Burns Virtual Psychological Solutions, offering virtual psychological services (therapy and evaluations) for individuals with ASD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and more. Additionally, she conducts immigration evaluations (asylum, VAWA, U Visa, T Visa, Extreme Hardship, and N-648) and works with law firms nationwide.

Her professional repertoire encompasses a diverse array of settings, from private practice to clinics, hospitals, and community-based initiatives. Her licensure in California, Texas, and certification under PSYPACT underscores her commitment to breaking down barriers to care, enabling her to reach individuals across state lines and provide much-needed support and intervention. Central to her approach is the empowerment of individuals and families, facilitated through comprehensive psychoeducation and advocacy efforts aimed at fostering autonomy and resilience.

Educated in California, Dr. Burns received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of California, Davis in 2013. However, it was her subsequent immersion in the realm of clinical psychology that truly defined her professional trajectory. During her undergraduate years, Dr. Burns volunteered at the esteemed UC Davis MIND Institute as a research assistant. Her formative experiences extended to her role as a behavior technician, where she honed her expertise while pursuing her undergraduate studies.

Undertaking her graduate studies at Alliant International University in Sacramento, she embarked on a transformative path, culminating in the attainment of both a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Psychology degree in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Her dedication to individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) was evident early on, as she delved into the field as a practicum student at the UC Davis MIND Institute.

Continuing her journey at the UC Davis MIND Institute, Dr. Burns underwent specialized training under the tutelage of leading autism researchers and clinicians, further enriching her understanding of NDDs. Her commitment to expanding access to care manifested in her participation in the Leadership and Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program, a testament to her advocacy and dedication to improving outcomes for individuals and families affected by NDDs. During her graduate program, Dr. Burns broadened and deepened her skills in trauma and community mental health by working as a practicum student and intern at the UC Davis CAARE Center in Sacramento, CA; VA Hospital in Mather, CA; and The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services (CAPS) Clinic in Sacramento, CA, respectively.

Beyond her clinical practice, she is deeply engaged in community initiatives, serving as a co-facilitator of Sankofa, a vital parent support group for African American families raising children with NDDs. Dr. Burns served for two years as California’s Children’s Mental Health Champion, which further exemplifies her dedication to systemic change, as she collaborated with stakeholders to promote mental health promotion and forge meaningful connections across sectors.
