Anxiety

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

• Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
• Overthinking
• Feelings of danger, panic or dread
• Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
• Increased or heavy sweating
• Trembling or muscle twitching
• Weakness or lethargy
• Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
• Insomnia
• Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder

Therapy can help you to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, look at situations in new, less frightening ways, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
