When is anxiety a problem?

FAQ

Anxiety becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your daily activities and quality of life. It’s normal to experience some level of anxiety in response to stressors, such as an upcoming deadline or an important event. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, chronic, or disproportionate to the situation, it can be a sign of an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive, persistent worry or fear about everyday situations. They can interfere with daily activities, such as work, school, and social interactions, and may cause physical symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, and trembling.

If you find yourself experiencing intense, uncontrollable worry or fear that is interfering with your daily life, it may be time to seek professional help from a mental health provider. They can help you understand the root cause of your anxiety, provide coping strategies, and offer treatment options that may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
