What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal and often adaptive response to stress or a perceived threat. It is a natural part of the human experience. It can serve as a protective mechanism by alerting us to potential dangers and helping us prepare for challenges. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, or disproportionate to the situation, it can interfere with daily life and well-being, leading to an anxiety disorder.

Diagnosis​

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear, or apprehension. Common symptoms of anxiety disorders include:

  1. Excessive worry: Constant, intrusive, and unrealistic concerns about everyday events or situations.
  2. Restlessness: Feeling on edge, keyed up, or unable to relax.
  3. Fatigue: Feeling tired and lacking energy, even without physical exertion.
  4. Difficulty concentrating: Finding it hard to focus on tasks or make decisions.
  5. Muscle tension: Physical symptoms such as tense muscles or trembling.
  6. Sleep disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless sleep.

 

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and more. These conditions can vary in terms of their specific symptoms and triggers.
