Do I Have Anxiety? What Are the Symptoms?

Anxiety manifests differently in everyone, but with that in mind, several common symptoms may serve as warning signs when someone is constantly anxious. You may have anxiety if you experience the following: 

• Racing thoughts, inability to focus on daily tasks 
• Constant fatigue
• Insomnia
• Constantly feeling stressed 
• Desire to avoid social encounters 
• Reliving traumatic experiences in dreams or flashbacks

With these symptoms in mind, it’s important to note that if you’re diagnosed by one of our providers, you may find that your personal experience with anxiety varies. Until you talk with a provider, it’s a better idea to be wary of the signs of anxiety and to connect with a licensed professional at Thriveworks in Gilbert, AZ to get treatment.

The Different Anxiety Disorders

“Anxiety” as we commonly think of it refers to a cluster of closely related mental health disorders. There are many different types, but some of the most common that our therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists help to address and treat are: 

• Social anxiety disorder: Social anxiety induces distress while engaging with other people. Everything from grocery runs to birthday parties can be cumbersome, fear-filled events.
• Panic disorder: Panic disorder can cause panic attacks. These physical episodes might result in dizziness, chest pain, vertigo, and nausea. 
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): GAD causes anxiety in different scenarios, whether real or imagined. This disorder can be difficult to identify because it isn’t triggered by any single source of anxiety. 
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): This disorder often induces irrational thought loops, or impulses to perform random physical actions in repetition. 
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): PTSD, can occur in anyone who has been through a psychologically or physically painful event. Those who suffer from it are often privy to flashbacks to traumatic events, nightmares, and antisocial behavior.
