Do You Suffer From Anxiety?

Has anxiety taken over your life? Do you feel like you’ve lost all control no matter how hard you try? When anxiety is present, a person’s mind and body becomes the battlefield. Symptoms often will intensify if not addressed.

Symptoms of Anxiety

• 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
• Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
• Insomnia
• 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

Say “YES” To Getting Help

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem. Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
