Anxiety

Symptoms:

• Constant worry or fear, even in situations that don't seem threatening

• Restlessness, feeling "on edge"

• Difficulty concentrating or racing thoughts

• Physical symptoms such as sweating, heart palpitations, dizziness, and trouble breathing

• Panic attacks, which may include intense fear, chest pain, or feelings of choking

Impact on Life:

Anxiety can make daily tasks feel overwhelming. Individuals may avoid situations or places where they feel uneasy, which can limit their personal and professional life. It can interfere with relationships and lead to isolation.

Why It Happens:

Anxiety can result from a combination of genetic factors, stressful life events, trauma, or ongoing stress. It may also be a response to unmet emotional needs or unresolved past experiences.

Why Seek Professional Help:

Anxiety can escalate and become disabling if not addressed. Therapy helps individuals identify the root causes of their anxiety and develop coping strategies, so they can lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
