What is anxiety?

Feeling worried or upset in stressful situations is normal. Those heightened emotions usually go away when the stress is removed, or when the situation improves, but anxiety is more pervasive than that. Anxiety can involve feelings of impending doom or fear that won’t go away, or that return without any obvious reason.

The good news is that anxiety can be successfully managed and treated.

Anxiety programs and support

Living better with anxiety

CBHS Corporate Better Living programs can help you manage your mental health at home with individual assessments of your needs and health coaching over a period of four to six months. This involves video and/or phone consultations with psychologists and/or mental health nurses and up to 15 coaching sessions. These sessions support behavioural and lifestyle changes that can help improve your mental health and wellbeing. These programs are designed to complement, not replace, existing clinical treatment or therapy. Read more about our Better Living Program.

Hospital care at home

If your anxiety has reached acute levels, you may be able to get hospital-grade care in the comfort of your own home with our Hospital Substitute Treatment programs (HST). Our HST program provides multi-disciplinary care for people with ongoing and complex psychiatric issues. As well as mental health support through consultations and group sessions (in some circumstances held in clinics), you may be able to get help with personal care and home support so you can concentrate on getting well. Read more about our Hospital Substitute Treatment program.

Talk therapy

Many people find counselling or talking to a professional can help with mental health concerns. Psychology is covered under CBHS Corporate Extras. Psychologists can assess, diagnose and treat mental health, behavioural and emotional disorders. The amount of benefits you can claim will depend on your level of cover. Check your policy for details or view CBHS Corporate Extras cover.

Mental Health Navigator

Members with CBHS Prestige (Gold) Package can also access our Mental Health Navigator, which offers confidential support from the comfort of your own home. After a virtual meeting with a mental health nurse you’re referred to a psychiatrist and/or clinical psychologist for a detailed assessment via video link. The nurse then guides you to follow-up treatment and supports you for six months. Read more about Mental Health Navigator.
