Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal aspect of life. However, when worry, racing thoughts, and nervousness persist without a clear cause or linger long after a stressful situation has ended, it might indicate an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health concern in the U.S., affecting over 40 million individuals. While they can occur at any age, they are especially common among adults. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward treatment.

The origins of anxiety disorders are multifaceted, involving a combination of genetic, environmental, psychological, and physical factors. These conditions may arise from:

✓Genetic predispositions that make certain individuals more susceptible to anxiety

✓Imbalances in brain chemistry affecting neurotransmitter function

✓Environmental stressors, including traumatic events and daily pressures

✓Underlying medical conditions that can exacerbate or trigger anxiety symptoms

✓Lifestyle factors, such as workload, relationship dynamics, and personal habits

★★★★★
I found Dr Maitra and her wonderful staff during the pandemic. She was one of the very few doctors who responded to my many emails. Dr. Maitra is one of a kind! She is compassionate, genuinely cares about her patients, and willing to meet them where they are to help them get well.

I cannot recommend Dr. Sarbani Maitra and her team at Lumos Psychiatric Services highly enough. Finding specialized expertise for ADD can be a daunting process, but Dr. Maitra’s deep knowledge and clinical skill made me feel supported from day one. Beyond her impressive expertise, Dr. Maitra has a truly kind demeanor and a great sense of humor, which makes every session feel both productive and comfortable. It is rare to find a physician who balances professional excellence with such a warm, approachable personality. Her office staff is equally amazing, always professional, helpful, and welcoming. Additionally, the practice is in a great location right across the street from Stanford’s Good Samaritan Hospital, making it incredibly convenient. If you are looking for compassionate, expert care in San Jose, this is the place to go!

Dr. Maitra is a rare type of doctor. She takes extra time with each of her patients. Although this sometimes means waiting a bit more for your appointment, it ensures adequate time is given to address your issues. Dr. Maitra along with her staff are very friendly and accommodating. They provide snacks and water for while waiting in the lobby. The overall atmosphere in her clinic is that of a “mom and pop shop”. The staff are respectful and yet very personable. I cannot recommend her services enough.
