Anxiety is a normal and healthy response. But when anxiety gets worse and keeps you from enjoying life, it might be time to get help.
Anxiety is a natural reaction to stress and unpleasant or dangerous situations. Anxiety can keep us from getting hurt, but too much anxiety interferes with our daily functioning or prevents us from personal growth and new experiences.
Anxiety disorders are the most common diagnoses of all mental health conditions in America. According to the American Psychiatric Association, anxiety disorders affect about 30% of all adult Americans. In addition, there are millions of other adults who experience anxiety that doesn’t rise to the level of a diagnosable condition.
What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!

If you feel anxious more often than not; if you experience physical symptoms such as racing heartbeat, difficulty breathing, headaches, upset stomach, or lightheadedness because of your anxiety; or if you aren’t able to do things you enjoy or are necessary to your functioning, it’s time to seek help.
Even a persistent worry about social situations (social anxiety) or general unease that prevents you from enjoying life can be symptoms. Understanding that these symptoms are not just “in your head” but actual signals from your body can be the first step towards improvement. If you need more in-depth information, you can find even more specific symptoms at VÃ¥rdguiden.
Talk therapy is the best first line of treatment for anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you examine your thought patterns and realize how much power you have to change the way you feel. Sometimes, anti anxiety medications can help as a complementary treatment to therapy depending on the severity of symptoms.
