Anxiety

You know you’ve been a worrywart all throughout your life, but your uncontrollable worry about everyday things is becoming excessive. This constant worry has started affecting your daily functioning and is slowly, but steadily, growing into an anxiety disorder. Before you succumb to unprovoked panic attacks, do something about it and fast.

Causes and symptoms

Anxiety disorders can result from worrying about job, finances, and health of both self and family. It can also include more mundane issues, like chores, car repairs and being late for appointments. The intensity, duration and frequency of worry are generally disproportionate to the issue and interfere with the sufferer’s performance of tasks and ability to concentrate.

You may remain irritable and complain of feeling on edge. You may even get tired easily and have trouble sleeping. As your anxiety and stress advances, you may start avoiding situations, places or people to save yourself from feeling anxious. Ultimately, you may fall victim to short, unexplained periods of intense fear or discomfort, called the panic attacks.
