Have you been feeling more stressed out than usual? Anxiety disorders are some of the most common type of mental health conditions in America. There are several types of anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

If you think you may have one of these, you should talk to one of the counselors in the Bluffton area who can help. Also, if you are looking for something to do in town that can help you relax, try taking a walk in Whicker Park, fishing in Ouabache State Park, or if it is hot, playing at Bluffton Splash Pad.
