Anxiety Therapy

What is anxiety & how is it treated?

Anxiety is a natural emotional response characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure. It serves an essential function in helping humans recognize and react to threats, facilitating a state of alertness that is crucial for survival. However, when these feelings become excessive, pervasive, and interfere with daily life, they may signify an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions worldwide.

The experience of anxiety varies widely among individuals. Symptoms can include persistent worrying, agitation, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances.

These symptoms can be triggered by specific situations or may be constant, and their intensity can range from mild to debilitating.

Treating anxiety effectively usually involves a combination of therapy  and lifestyle changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective forms of therapy, focusing on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety.

CBT helps individuals develop healthier thinking patterns and coping mechanisms to manage their anxiety more effectively.
