We will help you manage your anxiety.

Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health issues and can range from mild to debilitating.

Anxiety drains our energy, dominates our thoughts, and even robs us of our ability to enjoy the present. Many of us dislike the way our anxiety makes us feel, but we do not know how to prevent it or lessen its hold on our lives.

CAUSES OF ANXIETY

  • Trauma

  • Stress build-up

  • Stress due to illness

  • Genetics

  • Brain Chemistry

  • Medical Conditions

  • Environmental factors

Anxiety can often be an isolating experience causing you to avoid activities you would otherwise enjoy and hampering your day-to-day activities. Anxiety can also cause irrational thoughts or beliefs. Intellectually, you may be aware that they are irrational, but the thoughts still feel real.
