Anxiety
Anxiety is a common mental health condition characterised by excessive worry or fear that can interfere with daily life.
Key information you should know
- Anxiety affects people of all ages and can present in various forms, such as social anxiety or generalised anxiety.
- Symptoms may include restlessness, difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts, or physical signs like a racing heart.
- Effective treatments, including therapy, can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Anxiety is more than occasional worry; it’s a persistent condition that can impact emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Symptoms may include intense worry, irritability, tension, difficulty concentrating, and physical discomfort such as headaches or stomach upset. Anxiety can arise in response to specific situations or exist without a clear trigger.
Evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-integrated CBT (MiCBT) are highly effective in treating anxiety. These approaches help individuals manage their thoughts, reduce avoidance behaviours, and build resilience.
At the Institute for Healthy Living, our skilled therapists specialise in treating anxiety in adults, adolescents, and children, offering tailored, compassionate care.
