Anxiety symptoms include excessive worry, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbances, and gastrointestinal issues like stomachaches or nausea.
Therapy for anxiety typically involves exploring triggers, challenging irrational thoughts, developing coping strategies, and relaxation techniques. Therapists use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thinking patterns and Exposure Therapy to confront feared situations gradually, reducing anxiety’s impact on daily life.
