What is Anxiety?

Anxiety feels like an endless loop of "what ifs" running through your mind, keeping you stuck in a state of worry. It's that knot in your stomach before stepping into a room, the tension in your chest when facing the unknown.

Anxiety can make even small tasks feel overwhelming, as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s not just nervousness—it’s a constant hum of fear that’s hard to switch off. But it’s also a signal, reminding us that we’re human, that we care, and that with help, we can find balance again.

With the right therapist, you can find peace and contentment again.

When to seek help for Anxiety

You might start thinking about seeking help with anxiety when it begins to take over daily life. If worry keeps you up at night, makes it hard to focus, or stops you from enjoying things you once loved, that’s a sign.

When anxious thoughts seem bigger than reality, and it feels like no matter what you do, you can’t shake them, it may be time to reach out.

It’s not a sign of weakness—sometimes, anxiety needs more than just willpower to manage. Talking to someone can give you tools and support to regain control and feel more like yourself again.

Types of Anxiety Disorders

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves persistent, excessive worry about daily life, causing restlessness, tension, and difficulty concentrating. It impacts daily functioning, but with treatment, it’s manageable.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

Social Anxiety Disorder is an intense fear of social situations, driven by worry about being judged or embarrassed. It affects relationships and daily activities, but treatment can help ease these fears.

Panic Disorder

Panic Disorder involves recurring, unexpected panic attacks—intense episodes of fear with physical symptoms like a racing heart, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It can disrupt life, but treatment can manage symptoms effectively.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety. This cycle can interfere with daily life, but effective treatments are available.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) occurs after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness. It can significantly affect daily life, and requires professional care.

Phobias

Phobias are intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations, leading to avoidance behavior. Common examples include fear of heights, spiders, or social situations. They can disrupt daily life, but treatment options like therapy can help manage these fears effectively.
