Could I Have Anxiety? What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?

Anxiety takes many different forms and can arise from highly specific situations, depending on the person. Though anxiety can manifest itself differently in each person, there are several common symptoms that might indicate that you’re suffering from anxiety, like: 

• Constantly feeling stressed 
• Desire to avoid social encounters 
• Racing thoughts, inability to focus on daily tasks 
• Constant fatigue
• Insomnia
• Reliving traumatic experiences in dreams or flashbacks

These are only a few of the many different ways that our mental health professionals can help to treat your anxiety, so don’t be concerned if you don’t see your specific situation symptoms being listed. By talking openly with a provider about your experience, you’ll provide them with the feedback they need to offer you solutions and ways to cope with anxiety. 

Are There Different Forms of Anxiety?

There are many forms of anxiety, but some of the most common that our providers help to treat include: 

• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): GAD causes anxiety in different scenarios, whether real or imagined. This disorder can be difficult to identify because it isn’t triggered by any single source of anxiety. 
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): This disorder often induces irrational thought loops, or impulses to perform random physical actions in repetition. 
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): PTSD, can occur in anyone that has been through a psychologically or physically painful event. Those who suffer from it are often privy to flashbacks to traumatic events, nightmares, and antisocial behavior.
• Social anxiety disorder: Social anxiety induces distress while engaging with other people. Everything from grocery runs to birthday parties can be cumbersome, fear-filled events.
• Panic disorder: Panic disorder can cause panic attacks. These physical episodes might result in dizziness, chest pain, vertigo, and nausea.
