Anxiety Treatment, Strategies to Help You Cope
According to a 2007 study published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, anxiety disorders are the most common class of mental disorders reported by 14.4% of all people aged 16-85 years, in the 12 months prior to interview.

If anxiety has been a problem for you, taking the decision to find out about how we can help is the most important step on your journey to recovery. To help you understand what we can offer, here is a brief overview of some of the techniques we use.
Neurofeedback Treatment
This treatment is suitable for almost everyone and is non-invasive and painless. A session invoves using feedback from the patients' own brainwaves to retrain the brain. Scans can pinpoint areas of the brain where anxiety is causing brainwave activity to be too fast and normalise that activity.
Nutritional Advice
This can be of tremendous benefit as patients suffering from anxiety often have hectic lifestyles that may result in skipped meals and quick snacks of highly processed foods with poor nutritional content.
• Supplementation is no substitute for a good quality diet full of 'nutrient-dense' foods that supply the body's needs. However, where there is a serious deficit, it may not be possible (at least in the short-term) to correct this with diet
