With Various Forms of Anxiety

Anxiety is real. It is a close relative to our natural/primitive Fight or Flight mechanism that is built on an inherent need to survive. This survival mechanism manifests in a multitude of ways stemming from fear of not having control. When you have anxiety, there will be people that don’t understand what you’re going through and make judgments. They might believe you’re making your symptoms up or that you just need to “push through” it. But what you’re feeling is real. People living with anxiety can have a variety of different conditions such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, or Social Anxiety.

The different anxiety disorders that are most common today can leave an individual constantly overwhelmed, uneasy, and nervous. Although some temporary anxiousness can be considered “normal,” understanding whether a person has an anxiety disorder can make the difference in getting the needed help or not. Anxiety affects your psychology, biology, and your social world.
