Everyone worries, but how do you know when normal stress has crossed the line into an anxiety disorder? Learn the early signs.
Anxiety is a normal human emotion. It's your brain's way of keeping you alert in dangerous situations. However, when that alarm system stays on constantly, even when there's no real threat, it starts draining your mental and physical energy.
Many of my patients come in saying they feel 'on edge' from the moment they wake up. They experience racing thoughts, a pounding heart, and a feeling of impending doom. This is when normal worry turns into an Anxiety Disorder.
The first step to managing anxiety is recognizing it. It's not a weakness, and you don't just have to 'tough it out.' Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and sometimes careful medication, we can retrain your brain's alarm system.
If you find that your worries are stopping you from living your life, sleeping well, or enjoying your relationships, it might be time to start a conversation. You don't have to carry this weight alone.
