Understanding Anxiety and Mental Health with Dr. Peltz, ND
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent or overwhelming, it can disrupt your daily life. It often manifests as excessive worry, fear, or unease that may be difficult to control.

Dr. Peltz, ND understands how anxiety can impact all aspects of your life. Her goal is to provide personalized, evidence-based care to help you manage your symptoms and regain a sense of calm and control. Whether your anxiety is situational or long-term, there is hope, and with the right approach, relief is possible.
What are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
Anxiety can look different for everyone, but it often presents through emotional, physical, and behavioral symptoms. Some common signs include:
Emotional symptoms: Persistent worry, fear, or irritability.
Physical symptoms: Racing heart, shallow breathing, tight muscles, or headaches.
Cognitive symptoms: Difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed.
Behavioral symptoms: Avoiding social situations, procrastination, or withdrawing from loved ones.
Sleep disturbances: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested.
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to know you’re not alone. Dr. Peltz, ND provides individualized care to help identify the root causes of your anxiety and offers strategies to manage it effectively.
How Anxiety Impacts Your Life
Anxiety doesn’t just stay in your mind—it can affect your body, relationships, and overall quality of life. Persistent anxiety may lead to chronic stress, which can contribute to physical health issues such as high blood pressure, digestive problems, or weakened immunity.
Emotionally, anxiety can erode confidence, make it harder to enjoy daily activities, and create a sense of isolation. Over time, untreated anxiety may also increase the risk of developing depression or other mental health concerns.
The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable. With the right care, you can reduce its impact on your life, develop effective coping skills, and regain a sense of peace and balance.
