Anxiety
Anxiety is such a broad topic and has so many different conditions which fit under its umbrella. One of the most common anxiety disorders is a Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which it is estimated affects around 1 in 25 people within the UK. People affected by GAD are often in a constant state of worry about everyday things, which can have a profound impact on their work, education and relationships as it usually lasts for over 6 months.
Other conditions such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and phobias also sit under the umbrella of an anxiety disorder. Symptoms are usually broken down into physical and psychological. Physical symptoms may include palpitations, dizziness, nausea, sweating, shaking (to mention a few), whereas psychological symptoms could be feeling tired, feeling despondent, racing thoughts and an inability to concentrate. Anxiety is treatable with medication and other forms of talking therapy. Finding the origin and the root cause of the anxiety can help you to make sense of your condition, giving you a better chance to overcome it.
