Anxiety Treatment
Living with ongoing anxiety or excessive worry is more common than you might think, with nearly 40 million Americans affected. With the right care, anxiety is highly treatable.
What are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions that involve persistent, overwhelming worries or fears that go beyond typical stress or nervousness. These worries often feel difficult to control and may interfere with daily functioning.
The most common form, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), involves ongoing concerns about ordinary life events such as work, family responsibilities, and health. Other recognized anxiety-related conditions include:
- Panic disorder
- Separation anxiety disorder
- Social anxiety disorder
- Specific phobias
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
While occasional nervousness is a normal part of life, anxiety disorders cause excessive, ongoing fear that disrupts thoughts, behaviors, and overall quality of life.
Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety can affect both the mind and body. In addition to racing or intrusive thoughts, symptoms may include:
- A constant sense of dread or impending danger
- Irritability or tearfulness
- Difficulty focusing or making decisions
- Restlessness or agitation
- Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns
- Rapid heartbeat
- Excessive sweating
- Shaking or trembling
- Ongoing fatigue
- Digestive discomfort
- Avoiding certain situations or places
In individuals with OCD, compulsive behaviors such as repeated handwashing, checking, or counting may temporarily relieve anxiety but reinforce the cycle of obsessive thoughts.
Without proper treatment, anxiety symptoms can worsen over time, sometimes leading to depression, substance use, or significant difficulties in relationships, work, or school.
