Anxiety
Anxiety is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of fear, worry, and unease. At Preston’s Psychiatric Services, we specialize in providing private telehealth psychiatry services to help individuals effectively manage and overcome anxiety disorders, offering personalized treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Symptoms
- Persistent feelings of excessive worry or fear, often accompanied by an inability to control or stop the worrying.
- Restlessness, irritability, or feeling on edge, leading to difficulty in relaxing or concentrating.
- Physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath, even in non-threatening situations.
- Sleep disturbances, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless, unsatisfying sleep.
- Avoidance behaviors, where individuals may avoid certain situations or places that trigger their anxiety.
- Negative thoughts and catastrophic thinking patterns, anticipating the worst-case scenarios, and overestimating potential dangers.
Causes
- Biological factors: Certain individuals may be predisposed to anxiety due to genetic or neurological factors, making them more susceptible to developing an anxiety disorder.
- Traumatic experiences: Past traumatic events, such as abuse, accidents, or witnessing violence, can contribute to the development of anxiety disorders.
- Chronic stress: Long-term exposure to high levels of stress, whether from work, relationships, or other sources, can increase the likelihood of experiencing anxiety.
- Environmental factors: Certain environmental factors, such as living in a high-crime area or being exposed to constant noise, can contribute to feelings of anxiety.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, can be associated with anxiety symptoms.
- Substance abuse or withdrawal: The use of certain substances, including alcohol, drugs, or medications, can contribute to the development or exacerbation of anxiety disorders. Additionally, withdrawal from substances can also trigger anxiety symptoms.
