Anxiety is the feeling of unease that occurs when you are apprehensive about something, such as a job interview, presenting a project before colleagues, or even a test at school, Anxiety is normal and can even be beneficial in small doses. It can make us alert and active to be able to tackle any difficulty. But when anxiety gets excessive, chronic, and begins to hamper one’s normal functioning, then it becomes an anxiety disorder.
This is why knowing when anxiety becomes a disorder is important. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health disorders in the United States and have been known to affect millions of people every year. Although anxiety is such a common problem, many people do not know when they need to seek the help of a professional.
Anxiety is a feeling that is more than just stress and concern. While stress is a reaction to a specific threat or challenge, anxiety is often more general, a state of unease or worry that has no particular cause. Anxiety disorder is an exaggeration of these feelings, where they become persistent and can be very disruptive.
Anxiety disorders manifest in various ways, but common symptoms include agitation, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. Although these symptoms can affect anyone, they become a problem when they are persistent and severe and affect the normal functioning of an individual.
It is often difficult to determine when anxiety is within the normal range and when it has tipped over into a disorder. Persistence and intensity of symptoms can be one of the major factors in the assessment of the condition. Normal anxiety is usually temporary and tied to a specific event or situation. Anxiety disorders, on the other hand, are characterized by worry or fear that is escalated and persistent over weeks, months, or years.
Here are some signs that anxiety may have become a disorder:
These are the signs that you need to look for so that you can get the help that you require. Because most people with anxiety disorders are unaware that their symptoms are indicative of a disease, they might consider that anxiety is a normal state of being, or they may be ashamed to seek professional assistance. However, untreated anxiety disorders may result in severe mental and physical illnesses such as depression, substance use disorders, and chronic diseases, among others.
Deciding to seek help for anxiety can be difficult; this is even more so if one is still unsure whether their symptoms are severe enough to require professional attention. But what most people do not know is that anxiety disorders can be treated and it is better to seek help as soon as possible.
The good news is that anxiety disorders are very curable. Some of the available treatment methods include:
It is, therefore, important that one seeks help as soon as they notice they have anxiety disorder symptoms. Early intervention can prevent anxiety from becoming more severe and can improve your quality of life. The longer one stays without treatment, the worse the effect of anxiety on one’s mental and physical well-being.
It is also necessary to clear up any myths you might have about treatment. Seeking help for anxiety is not a sign of weakness. Instead, it’s a proactive step toward taking care of your mental health.
Recognizing the signs that your anxiety may be more than just a passing feeling is the first step toward getting the help you need. If you feel your anxiety is affecting your day-to-day activities, making you avoid certain situations, or leading to physical symptoms, then you should seek help from a professional.
