Life can often cause feelings of anxiousness or nervousness, but sometimes, these feelings last for days or weeks. Anxiety disorders account for the most common mental illness in the United States. 

Symptoms of anxiety include

• panic attacks
• excessive worry
• difficulty controlling your worry
• difficulty relaxing or falling asleep
• avoidance of things or situations due to your fears
• irritability
• difficulty concentrating

These symptoms can be upsetting and disruptive to your life. Symptoms of anxiety may also indicate additional mental disorders such as social anxiety, PTSD, OCD, or specific fears.

Triggers for anxiety disorders include physical health conditions, financial stress, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, and more.
