Understanding Anxiety

A common experience — and a treatable condition

Though we all experience high stress and worries from time to time, over 40 million adults in the US will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lifetime.

Anxiety can cause physical symptoms such as a racing heart, upset stomach, and sweating. Emotional symptoms may include feeling tense, irritable, apprehensive, or fearful.

Anxiety affects both the body and the mind — and recognizing its many faces is the first step toward relief.

Treatment

Helping you return to full function

Treatment is often indicated if someone is experiencing a reduced quality of life or difficulty functioning in their usual way.

Anxiety is typically treated with psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications — such as relaxation techniques — and medication. Together, these approaches offer a path toward lasting relief and greater wellbeing.
