Anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of unease or fear ranging from mild to severe and can be experienced in various situations. It is a normal response to stress, but it can affect your daily life and relationships when it becomes overwhelming. 

Anxiety disorders come in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

  • Psychiatric experts recognize Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) as a serious mental health condition in which an individual experiences persistent and excessive worrying about everyday situations such as health, finances, work, and family. Symptoms of this disorder usually last for six months or longer.

  • Panic disorder is a condition in which people experience sudden, recurrent episodes of intense fear with no apparent cause. These panic attacks usually come on quickly and last several minutes or more.

  • Phobias are irrational fears that can be debilitating for individuals who experience them. These often involve fear of spiders, flying, crowded places, or social interactions (social anxiety). Notwithstanding these things' insignificant threats, phobics feel anxious and distressed when exposed to them.
