Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when excessive worry or fear becomes persistent and starts interfering with everyday life, it may indicate an anxiety disorder.

Common symptoms may include constant worry, restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or a feeling of being unable to relax.

Anxiety disorders are common and treatable. A professional assessment can help identify the underlying causes and determine an individualized treatment approach.

You do not have to manage persistent anxiety alone. Seeking professional support can be an important step toward feeling more in control and improving your quality of life.
