Anxiety
Anxiety includes a strong sense of
- Feeling tense,
- Dread,
- Agitation,
- Feeling “keyed up”, and/or
- Having repetitive worried thoughts about the past, present and future.
Individuals with anxiety have difficulty enjoying their experiences because they are consumed by worry and apprehension over future or past happenings.
Episodes of intense fear are called panic and can often result from a chronic overload of anxiety. Panic attacks are terrifying for the individual and involve a series of physiological symptoms, including rapid heart beat, sweating, increased pulse, as well as thoughts of dying or of not being safe in one’s surroundings.
