Anxiety management in Kannur at Manthra Health & Wellness Hospital is a comprehensive, multi-modal programme led by Harshida M.P, our Consultant Clinical Psychologist. Anxiety disorders — including Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and Health Anxiety — are among the most prevalent mental health conditions affecting people in Kannur and North Kerala, yet remain significantly undertreated due to stigma and lack of accessible, specialist services.
Anxiety is not just "worry" — it is a complex physiological and psychological state involving the body's threat response system. When anxiety becomes chronic and disproportionate to actual threats, it interferes with daily functioning, relationships, work performance, sleep, and physical health. Harshida M.P's anxiety management programme at Manthra Wellness Kannur begins with a thorough psychological assessment to identify the type, severity, and maintaining factors of each patient's anxiety before designing an individually tailored treatment plan.
Evidence-based psychological treatments for anxiety at Manthra Wellness Kannur include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — the gold-standard, most extensively researched psychological treatment for anxiety, targeting the distorted thinking patterns and avoidance behaviours that maintain anxiety; Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) — structured mindfulness practice that teaches patients to observe anxious thoughts without being overwhelmed by them; Breathing and progressive muscle relaxation techniques — physiological regulation skills that directly counteract the body's anxiety response; and Exposure therapy — systematic, graded confrontation of feared situations to break the avoidance cycle.
