Frequently Asked Questions: Anxiety
When should I seek help for anxiety?
Consider an evaluation when worry or fear persists, becomes difficult to manage or interferes with work, school, relationships or everyday activities. NIMH explains how anxiety disorders differ from occasional worry. You do not need to know your diagnosis before requesting care.
What medications are used for anxiety?
SSRIs (sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine) and SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine) are first-line treatments for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety. Antidepressants usually take 4–8 weeks to work, although response varies. NIMH explains antidepressant timing and side effects. Buspirone is a non-addictive option for generalized anxiety. Benzodiazepines may be used short-term for acute anxiety but are not recommended for long-term management due to tolerance and dependence risk. NIMH provides detailed guidance on anxiety treatment.
Can anxiety be treated via telehealth?
Many patients can receive anxiety care by telehealth when clinically appropriate. Lyte Psychiatry offers telehealth visits to patients who are physically located in Texas at the time of the visit. Your clinician may recommend in-person care or another level of care based on your symptoms and safety needs. Learn how Texas telehealth visits work.
How long does it take for anxiety medication to work?
Timing depends on the medication and the person. NIMH notes that antidepressants usually take 4–8 weeks to work. Your prescriber will explain what to monitor and when to follow up. Contact your clinician about side effects or worsening symptoms; do not change or stop medication on your own.
Is anxiety treatment covered by insurance?
Lyte Psychiatry participates with several insurance plans. Coverage and costs depend on your specific plan, clinician, visit type and deductible. Confirm network status and expected costs before booking. Ask about benefits for therapy and psychiatric visits, including referral or prior authorization requirements. Check insurance and benefits or view self-pay prices.
What is the difference between normal worry and an anxiety disorder?
Occasional worry is common. Anxiety disorders can involve persistent, difficult-to-manage fear or worry that interferes with daily activities. Diagnostic requirements differ by disorder, so a clinician considers your symptoms, duration, health history and their effect on your life. Read NIMH’s overview of anxiety disorders.
Can anxiety co-occur with depression?
Yes. Anxiety and depression can occur together. A clinician assesses both sets of symptoms and discusses a plan that addresses your needs. Learn about depression treatment and coordinated therapy and psychiatric care.
What if I have tried medication before and it did not work?
One medication not working does not mean medication in general will not work for you. There are multiple classes of anxiety medications, and individual response varies. A thorough review of what you tried previously, at what dose, for how long, and what side effects occurred helps guide the next treatment discussion. Lyte Psychiatry conducts this review at the initial evaluation before recommending next steps.

How Lyte treats anxiety
Lyte provides therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management for anxiety across Texas. You may begin with one type of care or receive both through the same practice. Your clinician will recommend a plan based on your symptoms, health history, goals and preferences.
Therapy
Work with a licensed therapist on coping skills, patterns, relationships and the circumstances affecting your symptoms.
Explore therapy at Lyte →Psychiatric care
A psychiatric provider can evaluate your symptoms, consider possible diagnoses and discuss whether medication or another medical treatment is appropriate.
Learn about medication management →Combined care
When both services are useful, your therapist and psychiatric provider can coordinate within one practice instead of asking you to manage two separate care teams.
Compare your care options →What happens at your first appointment?
Your first visit gives you and your provider time to discuss what has been happening, how it affects daily life, your medical and mental health history, current medications and what you want help with. You will discuss possible next steps together.
Therapy visits focus on understanding your concerns and building a practical treatment plan. A psychiatric evaluation also considers whether your symptoms may be connected to a condition that could benefit from medication. A prescription is never automatic.
Before the appointment, Lyte can check your insurance benefits and explain the expected cost. Coverage and out-of-pocket amounts depend on your plan and whether the service is medically necessary. Review accepted insurance plans.
