Anxiety

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is described as a feeling of apprehension, uneasiness, tension and/or worry. Some common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and phobias. Anxiety brings about uncomfortable physical symptoms. Some of the key symptoms of anxiety include:

• Feeling nervous, restless or tense


• Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom


• Increased heart rate


• Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)


• Sweating


• Trembling


• Feeling weak or tired


• Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry


• Difficulty sleeping


• Upset stomach or diarrhea

While anxiety may seem unwarranted, the symptoms are very real and can be difficult to manage. It is important to learn coping strategies and techniques to manage anxiety symptoms effectively. Some tips include:

• Deep breathing exercises to calm the body


• Meditation and mindfulness


• Get adequate sleep


• Eat a balanced diet


• Engage in regular exercise


• Limit caffeine


• Spend time doing activities you enjoy
