When fear, panic, or restlessness begin to disrupt your daily life, relationships, or health, it may be time to seek professional help. Located in Beverly Hills, Dr. Aamir Khan provides comprehensive psychiatric care for adults struggling with anxiety. Our mission is to help you regain peace of mind, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting resilience through a compassionate, individualized approach.

Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming or difficult to control, it may indicate an anxiety disorder. These conditions can take many forms, from racing thoughts and irritability to physical symptoms like chest tightness and insomnia.

Dr. Khan provides treatment for a wide range of anxiety conditions, including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent worry about multiple aspects of life.

  • Panic Disorder: Recurrent panic attacks with symptoms such as heart palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

  • Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations.

  • Specific Phobias: Severe fear of particular objects or environments.

  • Performance Anxiety: Stress that interferes with professional, academic, or creative performance.

  • Health Anxiety: Excessive preoccupation with medical concerns.

Anxiety can worsen if left untreated, but with expert care, many patients experience significant relief and improved quality of life.

A Comprehensive and Collaborative Approach

Dr. Khan believes that effective treatment requires addressing the whole person, not just symptoms. Anxiety often stems from a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors, which means a holistic approach is essential.

This includes:

  • Medical and Biological Care: Medication when appropriate, carefully selected and adjusted to reduce distressing symptoms.

  • Therapeutic Exploration: Using CBT, psychodynamic therapy, or other modalities to uncover patterns, beliefs, and coping strategies.

  • Lifestyle Support: Encouraging sleep hygiene, nutrition, mindfulness, exercise, and other healthy habits.

  • Social and Relational Focus: Recognizing how family systems, work stress, and community factors influence anxiety.

Most importantly, Dr. Khan works in collaboration with each patient. Instead of dictating a plan, he tailors every treatment to the individual’s needs, values, and goals. Patients are invited to take an active role in their care, which often leads to stronger outcomes and a greater sense of empowerment.
