Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges, affecting millions of individuals daily. It’s more than just occasional worry; anxiety can feel overwhelming, impacting every area of your life—from relationships to work. If you’re experiencing symptoms of anxiety, finding therapy for anxiety can help you regain control and improve your overall well-being.
Common Symptoms of Anxiety
Recognizing the symptoms of anxiety is the first step toward addressing it. While everyone experiences anxiety differently, some common signs include:
Persistent feelings of worry or fear
Difficulty concentrating or focusing
Irritability or restlessness
Physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, or shortness of breath

Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety
If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face them by yourself. Therapy can provide the tools and support you need to manage anxiety effectively.
