We all feel anxious at times before an exam, during a big decision, or when life feels uncertain. But when worry becomes persistent, uncontrollable, and interferes with daily life, it may be more than just stress. At Kriteyu Health Care, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), helping you regain calm, clarity, and control.

Yes. With the right combination of therapy, support, and in some cases, medication, individuals with GAD can manage symptoms effectively and lead fulfilling lives.
Not always. Many individuals benefit from therapy alone. If medication is recommended, we ensure it's carefully considered and tailored to your needs.
Improving sleep, exercise, nutrition, and practising relaxation techniques can significantly support recovery and reduce anxiety levels.
