Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and related physical changes. People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry. They may also have physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, dizziness or a rapid heartbeat.
There are different types of anxiety disorders which include Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Phobias, Social Anxiety Disorder and others. Whether you’re suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or an incapacitating phobia, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with anxiety and fear. Anxiety disorders differ considerably, so therapy should be tailored to your specific symptoms and diagnosis.
