Anxiety Disorder

It’s more than butterflies in your stomach. 

People generally experience brief and mild anxiety when faced with the daily stresses in life such as the first day at work, going to an interview or speaking in front of a group.  However, with anxiety disorder, the symptoms are more severe and they last for a longer period of time, at least 6 months.  And if not treated, it can get worse.  People may feel restless or worried without knowing the reason behind these feelings or worried more than the situation warrants. They may feel “on edge” or “revved up,” waiting for “something awful to happen.”  Also, with their excessive worrying, they stop enjoying simple activities which they previously enjoyed. 

There are different forms of anxiety but they all revolve around excessive, irrational fear and dread.  Therefore, it is important to find out the specific problem before taking the first step to treatment.  If you think you or a loved one displays the symptoms of anxiety disorder, please call your doctor or a therapist for a careful diagnostic evaluation. 

Treatment can help.  Embark on your journey to better living and brighter horizons.
