Understanding Anxiety, Signs & Symptoms
What is Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes regular, overwhelming, or difficult to manage, it may be considered an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders can affect how you think, feel, and respond to everyday situations. Over time, they can interfere with work, relationships, sleep, and overall mental health.
With proper evaluation and treatment, anxiety symptoms can be managed and reduced.

How is Anxiety Diagnosed
Anxiety is diagnosed through a structured psychiatric evaluation, not a single test. Evaluation for your anxiety may involve:
- Discussion of symptoms and how they affect daily life
- Review of mental health and medical history
- Identification of triggers and patterns
- Screening tools when appropriate
- Ruling out other conditions such as depression, sleep disorders, or medical causes
Our goal as your anxiety care provider is to clearly understand what yoou are experiencing before recommending any treatment.
What can cause Anxiety
Anxiety can develop due to a combination of factors rather than a single cause. Some contributing factors may be:
– Family history of anxiety or related conditions
– Stressful life events (work pressure, trauma, major life changes)
– Differences in brain chemistry and stress response
– Underlying medical conditions
– Substance use or withdrawal
– Long-term exposure to high stress environments
