Managing Anxiety for Better Health

Anxiety

Anxiety is a common mental health issue that involves a lot of worry, fear, and nervousness. It can show up in different ways, like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, affecting millions of people around the world.

What Are the Signs of Anxiety?

Anxiety is a fairly common, but still serious, mental health issue. It’s more than just occasional worry; it causes ongoing feelings of unease that can hurt your quality of life. The most common signs include:

 

  • Excessive worry or fear that’s hard to control
  • Restlessness or feeling jittery
  • Trouble focusing or having a blank mind
  • Irritability
  • Muscle tension
  • Sleep problems, like trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or restless sleep
  • Physical symptoms such as a racing heart, sweating, shaking, or stomach problems

 

Not everyone’s experience is the same, so your symptoms may be different from someone you know. If you believe you are experiencing anxiety, seeking treatment is vital to your emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.

The focus on the conversation is anxiety treatment. The man is wearing an orange shirt and jeans, listening attentively.
