Anxiety
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress—commonly felt as worry, nervousness, or fear about upcoming events. Feeling anxious before a big presentation, job interview, or life change is completely normal. However, when these feelings become frequent, intense, or disproportionate, they can disrupt your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
If you’re constantly overwhelmed by fear or unease, it may be more than just everyday stress—it could be an anxiety disorder. As a qualified psychiatrist in Mumbai, I help individuals recognize the signs of chronic anxiety, offering personalized anxiety management therapy in Juhu and surrounding areas.
With evidence-based treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management when necessary, we work together to regain control, reduce distress, and restore emotional balance.
What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
Anxiety can manifest in both emotional and physical ways.
Common emotional symptoms include:
- Excessive or uncontrollable worry
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
Physical symptoms may include:
- Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
- Muscle tension
- Sweating or trembling
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Sleep disturbances (trouble falling or staying asleep)
These symptoms can vary in intensity and may be triggered or worsened by certain situations.
What Are the Different Types of Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders come in several forms, each with its own set of characteristics and triggers. Some of the most common include:
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent, excessive worry about everyday things, often without a clear cause.
Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense episodes of fear (panic attacks) that can cause physical symptoms like chest pain or dizziness.
Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations.
Specific Phobias: Extreme fear of particular objects or situations (e.g., heights, spiders, flying).
Separation Anxiety Disorder: Often associated with children, this involves excessive fear of being away from a loved one, but it can affect adults, too.
Each type of anxiety disorder can impact quality of life, but with the right support and treatment, they are manageable.
