Occasional anxiety is normal, but when excessive worry, fear, or nervousness happens on most days and interferes with work, relationships, or daily activities, it may be an anxiety disorder. Common types include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias. Left untreated, anxiety can significantly reduce quality of life.
You should seek help if you experience excessive worry or fear most days for 6 months or longer, or if anxiety causes physical symptoms such as irritability, muscle tension, chronic fatigue, trouble concentrating, restlessness, sleep problems, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, or sudden panic attacks. If anxiety is causing you to avoid places, people, or activities, it’s time to get evaluated.
Anxiety is very treatable. Most people benefit from a combination of psychotherapy (especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – CBT) and medication. CBT helps you identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety, while exposure therapy gradually helps you face feared situations safely. Medications such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or short-term anti-anxiety medications can help restore brain chemistry balance. Treatment is tailored to your specific symptoms and needs.
Many people with anxiety disorders experience full or near-full recovery with proper treatment. While some may always be more sensitive to stress, the vast majority learn to manage symptoms effectively and live normal, fulfilling lives. Early treatment leads to the best outcomes — anxiety does not have to control you.
