Anxiety Treatment and Therapy
Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is more than occasional worry or nervousness. Anxiety disorders cause intense, excessive, and persistent fear about everyday situations. These feelings can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall quality of life. Symptoms often begin during childhood or adolescence and may continue into adulthood without proper treatment.
Common signs of an anxiety disorder include:
​
-
Constant feelings of worry or dread that seem difficult to control
-
Restlessness or feeling on edge
-
Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
-
Sleep problems, including trouble falling or staying asleep
-
Physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, or trembling
-
Avoiding situations that trigger anxiety
