While stress is a natural reaction to life’s challenges, anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive worry and physical tension that do not fade once a stressor passes. Whether presenting as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic disorder, these conditions can significantly limit personal and professional fulfillment.
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Uncontrollable Worry: Persistent anticipation of worst-case scenarios and difficulty quieting intrusive thoughts.
- Physical Hyperarousal: Rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, chest tightness, muscle tension, or gastrointestinal distress.
- Restlessness & Fatigue: Feeling on edge, easily startled, or physically exhausted despite sleep.
- Avoidance Behaviors: Going out of your way to evade specific environments, social interactions, or situations that trigger distress.
