Anxiety Disorders
Almost everyone feels anxious from time to time, but for those living with an anxiety disorder, the worry and fear can become overwhelming and interfere with daily life. At Wellness Whisper Psychiatry, we understand how difficult it can be to manage constant tension, restlessness, and fear of the unknown. Our goal is to provide compassionate and effective care that helps you regain peace of mind and restore balance to your life.
What Is Anxiety Disorder
Anxiety disorders go beyond occasional nervousness or stress. They are persistent conditions that can disrupt work, relationships, and daily routines. These disorders may develop from a combination of genetics, brain chemistry, and life experiences.
Common types of anxiety disorders include:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Social Anxiety Disorder
Panic Disorder
Phobias
While anxiety disorders can feel overwhelming, with proper treatment, recovery is possible.
Symptoms
Anxiety disorders affect the mind, body, and behavior. Symptoms may vary but often fall into these categories
Individuals may feel a constant sense of unease, nervousness, or dread even when no real danger exists. This emotional distress can lead to irritability, restlessness, or feeling “on edge” most of the time.
Anxiety often triggers the body’s “fight-or-flight” response, causing physical effects such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, dizziness, muscle tension, and frequent headaches. Digestive issues like nausea or stomach upset are also common.
Many people with anxiety disorders begin avoiding situations, people, or places that make them feel anxious. Over time, this avoidance can limit social connections, disrupt routines, and contribute to feelings of isolation.
Anxiety can overwhelm the mind with constant, intrusive, or racing thoughts that are difficult to control. This makes it hard to focus, concentrate, or make decisions, and often reinforces the cycle of worry and fear.
