Experiencing occasional anxiety is normal. We all feel anxious when something big happens or if there’s a stimulus that poses a threat to us. However, people with anxiety disorders experience things a lot differently and are in need of specialized medical services.
People with anxiety disorders have trouble meeting their basic daily responsibilities. The anxiety and panic they feel tend to be random and out of proportion to the actual danger. It also lasts longer than the “normal” anxiety that most people tend to feel.
Pathway Virtu-Health is here to talk about the common signs and symptoms of an anxiety disorder to help bring awareness to this type of mental illness. Take a look:
- Having a strong sense of impending danger or doom
- Difficulty in controlling worry
- Having a strong urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety
- Hyperventilation
- Feelings of nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
If you think that a loved one may be suffering from an anxiety disorder, encourage them to get healthcare consultations. Do not give them a diagnosis as this can be harmful and destructive to the other person’s well-being.
