What is anxiety?
Anxiety can feel like an endless loop of “what ifs,” keeping your mind racing and your body tense. It’s that knot in your stomach before entering a room, the tightness in your chest when facing the unknown.
Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, as if you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Anxiety isn’t just nervousness—it’s a constant hum of worry that’s hard to turn off. Yet it’s also a signal, a reminder that we care and that we’re human.
With the right support, you can learn to manage anxiety, regain balance, and experience peace and contentment once again.

Types of anxiety disorders
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves ongoing, excessive worry about everyday matters, often accompanied by restlessness, tension, and difficulty concentrating. While it can interfere with daily functioning, GAD is highly manageable with the right treatment.
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is marked by an intense fear of social situations, often driven by concerns about being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. This can impact relationships and daily activities, but therapy can help reduce fear and build confidence.
Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder includes recurrent, unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear that may involve physical symptoms such as a racing heart, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Although disruptive, panic disorder responds well to effective treatment.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) intended to ease anxiety. This cycle can be exhausting and disruptive, but evidence-based treatments can significantly reduce symptoms.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and emotional numbness. PTSD can deeply affect daily life, but professional care can support healing and recovery.
Phobias
Phobias involve intense, persistent fears of specific objects or situations—such as heights, flying, or certain animals—that lead to avoidance behaviors. While these fears can be limiting, therapy offers effective strategies to manage and overcome them.
