In Australia, it is estimated that 45 per cent of people will experience some form of mental health condition during their lifetime. It is also estimated that approximately 2,000,000 Australians are suffering from anxiety in any given year. Significant numbers of people suffering anxiety in Australia are from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast but those in regional or other areas are also likely to experience anxiety.

Anxiety can be driven by a need for control. Anxiety further develops as we come to realise we can not foresee and control what happens to us and neither can we control what other people say or do.

People experience a physical reaction to anxiety as our bodies go into “fight or flight” mode;

  • racing heart,
  • shortness of breath,
  • constriction around the chest,
  • butterflies in the tummy,
  • inability to relax or to calm your racing mind,
  • difficulties drifting off to sleep etc.

Often these physical symptoms further the anxiety. People become anxious about being anxious and their condition worsens thus has a more damaging impact on their quality of life. The condition gathers momentum and gets bigger.

It is very common that people suffering from anxiety will develop behavioural symptoms in an attempt to cope or escape from their anxiety.

 

What we do at The Banyans Health and Wellness to treat your anxiety

The first step in the treatment of anxiety is to understand ALL of the underlying contributing causes. Anxiety is never attributed to just one thing so we leave no stone unturned and devote considerable resources to understanding what is likely to be influencing the way you think and feel (emotionally and physically). Drawing on the expertise of our large integrated medical team and, where applicable, working closely with your existing team and or family, we make sure we are as well prepared for your arrival as can be expected.

Guests come from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne or other locations in Australia, as well from New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and other overseas locations. Regardless of where you are located, key members of your team will connect with you prior to your arrival to ensure you feel comfortable and settle in quickly.

 

On arrival you will be made to feel welcome and secure as you are gently orientated into your personalised program.

 

During your first week we ease you into your tailored program as you take time to rest and get comfortable with your surroundings. Your integrated team will look to establish a baseline that we build on as your program progresses. Being an evidence based program it is crucial you are able to clearly see, track and measure your own improvements. You will be able to see, from start to finish, just how far you have come and what you have been able to achieve.
