Anxiety
What are the symptoms of anxiety?
It’s normal to have occasional bouts of anxiety, especially if you have a major event or milestone going on, such as starting a new job or getting married. But anxiety shouldn’t be something that regularly plagues you.
Warning signs of anxiety disorders include:
- Experiencing restless nights and poor sleep quality
- Having poor concentration or memory
- Feeling restless or on edge
- Being fatigued easily
With a generalized anxiety disorder, you may also find that you have difficulty controlling feelings of worry and overly stress about situations. Anxiety can even lead to panic disorder or phobias, where you have tremors and heart palpitations when you’re triggered by a specific event, object, or situation.
When should I get help for anxiety?
Anxiety isn’t anything you have to learn to manage on your own, nor should you ignore your symptoms, even if they seem minor or infrequent. Dr. Mind Psychology is dedicated to helping you get through minor to complex cases of anxiety, so you can live to your full potential.
We encourage you to come in for an evaluation if your anxiety:
- Leads to physiological issues, such as sweating, shaking, or pounding heartbeat
- Causes you to miss work or avoid social situations
- Makes you miss enjoyable activities
- Affects your personal relationships
Dr. Mona Ghanbari will talk with you to get to the root of your anxiety so you can work together to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs.
Is there an effective anxiety treatment?
Absolutely. Depending on the cause and severity of your anxiety, your psychologist may recommend:
- Exposure therapy (ET)
- Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Psychotherapy (talk therapy)
Rest assured, with our help you can overcome your anxiety and restore your mental well-being.
