Anxiety involves excessive worry, fear, or nervousness, and it’s thought to cause physical symptoms as well. It can manifest in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and specific phobias. Individuals with anxiety often experience physical symptoms like increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, and difficulty concentrating. The effects of anxiety on daily life can reduce quality of life and lead to avoidance behaviors. In addition to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), lifestyle modifications, and mindfulness exercises. By reducing symptoms, improving coping mechanisms, and improving overall well-being, these treatments aim to improve overall health.
Anxiety treatments are suitable for anyone experiencing persistent anxiety that interferes with daily living. Results from therapy and medication can often be seen within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the individual and the specific treatment plan. The effects of treatment can be long-lasting, particularly with ongoing therapy and maintenance strategies.
