ANXIETY
Is anxiety taking over your life?
Anxiety can manifest in a variety of ways, and it’s important to recognize the symptoms in order to seek the right treatment. Some common symptoms of anxiety include:
Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
Increased or heavy sweating
Trembling or muscle twitching
Weakness or lethargy
Insomnia
Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek help. Ignoring your anxiety can lead to more serious mental health problems and can have a negative impact on your overall quality of life.
Therapy can be one of the most effective options for treating anxiety disorders. While medication can help manage symptoms in the short-term, therapy addresses the root causes of your anxiety and teaches you skills to manage your symptoms in the long-term.
Some of the most common types of therapy for anxiety disorders include:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A type of therapy that helps you identify and change unconstructive thought patterns and behaviors.
Exposure therapy: A type of therapy that involves gradually exposing you to the things you’re afraid of in a safe and controlled environment.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT): A type of therapy that focuses on accepting your thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to fight or control them.
