From sleepless nights and racing thoughts to the constant fear of what’s coming next, it’s like walking through each day with a storm cloud overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety Therapy
1. What are the most common symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder often experience constant worrying, restlessness, muscle tension, trouble concentrating, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. If daily anxiety feels uncontrollable, therapy can help.
​
2. How do I know if my anxiety is actually Panic Disorder?
Panic Disorder usually includes sudden panic attacks with symptoms like a racing heart, chest tightness, dizziness, shaking, shortness of breath, or fear of losing control. If these episodes feel overwhelming or unexpected, it may be time to seek anxiety treatment.
​
3. What are the signs that I might have Social Anxiety or Social Phobia?
Social Anxiety Disorder often includes intense fear of being judged, avoiding social situations, blushing, sweating, shaking, or worrying for days before an event. If being around others triggers anxiety or embarrassment, therapy can help you rebuild confidence.
​
4. What symptoms suggest I may be struggling with OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)?
Common OCD symptoms include intrusive thoughts, repetitive checking, excessive cleaning, counting, seeking reassurance, and feeling anxiety unless rituals are completed. Therapy can help reduce compulsions and calm obsessive thoughts.
​
5. Can physical symptoms like chest pain or nausea be caused by anxiety?
Yes. Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and Social Phobia often cause physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, chest tightness, sweating, trembling, digestive issues, and shortness of breath. Therapy can help reduce both emotional and physical symptoms.
​
6. Why does my anxiety get worse at night or when I’m trying to sleep?
Racing thoughts, worry, rumination, and hypervigilance can become more noticeable at night when your mind is less distracted. This is common with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. Therapy teaches strategies to quiet the mind and improve sleep.
​
7. How do intrusive thoughts relate to anxiety or OCD?
Intrusive thoughts—disturbing, unwanted, or repetitive mental images—are common in OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder. They don’t mean anything is wrong with you. Therapy can help reduce their power and frequency.
​
8. When should I seek professional help for anxiety symptoms?
You should consider anxiety therapy if symptoms interfere with daily life—such as constant worry, avoidance, panic attacks, compulsive behaviors, or fear of social situations. Early treatment leads to faster relief and long-term improvement.
