Anxiety

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions — and one of the most treatable. While some anxiety is a normal part of life, anxiety disorders involve persistent worry or fear that feels difficult to control and starts getting in the way of everyday life. It might show up as restlessness, trouble sleeping, a racing heart, difficulty concentrating, or avoiding situations that feel overwhelming. Anxiety can take many forms, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias.

Treatment typically involves therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps identify and reframe the thought patterns driving anxiety. Medication such as SSRIs can help regulate the underlying chemistry that makes anxiety feel so persistent and hard to control.
