Almost everyone experiences some form of anxiety in their lifetime. It’s a natural part of being human and has served some pretty important functions in our survival as a species, such as knowing when to fight or flee from a predator. However, when anxiety begins to manifest randomly and without warning, it can wreak havoc on your whole life.
If worrying has long ceased serving you, you are not alone. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, over 40 million people in the US suffer from some form of anxiety, making it the most common mental health issue in the country. It is also the number one health issue facing women in America, with men being not far behind.
Modern society does little to mitigate the effects of anxiety. Our highly competitive, success-oriented social model feeds on it; our obsession with social media and electronics camouflages it; our culture’s lack of regard for the importance of mental health perpetuates it. Add to that the stressors of everyday life and possible hereditary cues, as well as personal and environmental factors, and it is no wonder anxiety affects so many people.
The good news is, anxiety is a well-researched and highly treatable condition. With the help of a compassionate and skilled anxiety specialist, you can make sense of the confusion, end the cycle of fear and get on top of your life.
