Anxiety Q&A

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal human emotion characterized by worry or fear. It’s  usually temporary and in response to a specific event or circumstance. If you have an anxiety disorder, you experience fear or worry most of the time even in situations that don’t call for it. 

Generalized anxiety disorder, one of the most common types, tends to come with a high level of dread or worry that interferes with your well-being. Other common anxiety disorders include:

  • Panic disorder
  • Social anxiety disorder
  • Specific phobias 
  • Separation anxiety

Embracing Uncertainty Therapy and Wellness provides assessments for diagnosis and develop a suitable course of treatment for your symptoms. 

What are the main symptoms of anxiety?

Different anxiety disorders manifest with particular symptoms, but there are general symptoms of anxiety as well. Embracing Uncertainty Therapy and Wellness evaluates common anxiety signs and symptoms like:

  • Ongoing nervousness or worry
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Fatigue
  • Restlessness
  • Tension
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Irritability
  • Sleep problems

There are both mental and physical symptoms of anxiety. If you experience palpitations on occasion, they could be due to anxiety and not a cardiovascular complication. 

What can I do to manage anxiety?

Embracing Uncertainty Therapy and Wellness can provide the care you need to reduce symptoms of anxiety and live a fuller life. Your provider considers your personal needs and circumstances while selecting treatments that boost your confidence and reduce your worries and fears. 


A typical treatment plan for an anxiety disorder involves:

Counseling

Counseling for your anxiety can happen one-on-one with a counselor or in a family setting, depending on your circumstances and preferences. Your provider might use strategies, like exposure and response prevention (ERP) and other forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help you cope with anxiety.

Functional medicine

Functional medicine includes nutrition and lifestyle advice that helps improve your overall well-being and specific symptoms of anxiety. 

Medications

Occasionally, anti-anxiety medications are a necessary part of treatment for anxiety. Your provider at Embracing Uncertainty Therapy and Wellness controls your dosage and makes sure you experience positive results.
