Topics Anxiety
Feeling anxious or nervous from time to time is fairly common. It can motivate us to confront things we’ve been neglecting as well as motivate us to make needed changes. However, when worrying creates sufficient distress that it interferes with the ability to lead a productive life; it may be time to seek clinical support.
There are various types of Anxiety Disorders and a range of symptoms that can become debilitating if not addressed. You may know someone who has had sudden feelings of terror that strikes without warning. This could include excessive fear, a sense of dread, racing heart beat, feeling weak or faint, difficulty breathing and a fear of loosing control are just some of the possible symptoms.
Psychotherapy and medication have both been used to treat Anxiety. If medication is needed, a Psychiatrist or your Primary Care Physician may prescribe anti-anxiety medication. It is also wise to rule out any underlying health issues as well.
