Anxiety: Commonly Asked Questions
When Should I Seek Help For Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response that helps you handle dangerous situations, anticipate upcoming events, or manage intense daily stress.
When you experience anxiety, your body releases hormones that provide energy and focus to tackle the challenge. Once the situation is over, your body and emotions should return to a calm state. Anxiety should never be a constant or frequent state.
Anxiety becomes problematic when it:
- Leads you to alter your daily activities to avoid it
- Causes frequent or uncontrollable fear and worry
- Prevents you from fulfilling your daily responsibilities (social, work, and family)
- Persists even without a current or upcoming threat
If anxiety feels overwhelming or is disrupting your life in any way, it’s time to seek help from Fidelity Health and Psychiatry Services.
Are There Various Types Of Anxiety Disorders?
There are several types of anxiety disorders you can develop, with the three most common being:
- Genralized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
GAD involves excessive and persistent worry or fear about everyday situations. Your anxiety is often disproportionate to the actual concern, and you may feel anxious even when there’s no clear reason for it.
- Specific phobia
A specific phobia involves an overwhelming fear and anxiety related to a particular object or situation, like a fear of spiders or flying.
- Social Anxiety Disorder
This disorder triggers intense anxiety in situations such as meeting new people, attending social events, or performing in front of others, like giving a presentation at work.
What Symptoms Are Associated With Anxiety?
Anxiety, regardless of its cause, often comes with other symptoms, including:
- Worry
- Fear
- Nausea
- Stomach aches
- Irritability
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
- Headaches
- Body aches
- Panic attacks
Panic attacks can bring on sudden physical symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, and chest pain.
