Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, scary, and can seemingly come out of nowhere. It can exist both in your thoughts and in your body. Some of the most common signs of anxiety are worry about the future, increased heart rate, heaviness in the chest, and avoidance of a certain trigger. There are many different types of anxiety disorders, some of which include Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Agoraphobia, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
