Experiencing anxiety every now and then is a normal part of life. However, individuals with anxiety disorders have intense, frequent, and excessive worry and fear about normal, everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders interfere with daily activities and can be difficult to control without professional help.

The common symptoms of anxiety include:

• Having an increased heart rate and an impending sense of doom
• Feeling restless and nervous often accompanied by trembling and sweating
• Breathing rapidly and difficulty concentrating or controlling worry
• Having the urge to avoid situations, people, or things that trigger anxiety

There are several types of anxiety disorders. The most common is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) which is characterized by persistent, excessive worry about routine activities. The worry is often blown out of proportion to the actual circumstance. Hence, behavioral therapy in Maryland, USA is recommended to manage its symptoms.

Although the causes of anxiety disorders are not fully understood, there are several factors that contribute to it. This may include life experiences like traumatic events, medical causes, and inherited traits.

For some people, anxiety is linked to an underlying health issue. Examples of medical problems that are linked to anxiety include diabetes, drug misuse, and chronic pain. Other risk factors include stress buildup, a family history, and other mental health disorders like depression and ADHD.

The two main treatments for anxiety disorders are medications and psychotherapy. Seeing a professional psychotherapist can reduce symptoms and learn healthy ways to cope. Anti-anxiety medication and certain antidepressants may also be prescribed.
