Anxiety Disorder Treatment & Care | Mind Scan Mental Health

Anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental health conditions that affects how a person feels, behaves, and functions in daily life. While occasional anxiety is a normal response to stress, persistent and intense anxiety that disrupts everyday activities may signal an anxiety disorder.

Individuals may experience a mix of emotional and physical symptoms - from overwhelming worry and fear to rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, or breathlessness. These episodes can be short-lived or continue for weeks, significantly impacting one's mental well-being and quality of life.

Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder

The symptoms of anxiety can vary from person to person and may be influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental stressors. Common signs include:

Shortness of breath
Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
Increased blood pressure
Difficulty focusing or staying calm
Restlessness or irritability
Sleep disturbances or insomnia

Causes of Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety disorders often arise due to a combination of factors rather than a single cause. These may include:

Brain chemistry: Imbalance in neurotransmitters may affect emotional regulation.
Genetics: A family history of anxiety or other mental health issues can increase the risk.
Past trauma: Experiences such as abuse, neglect, or sudden life changes can leave lasting psychological effects.
Stressful lifestyle: Chronic stress from work, relationships, or health concerns may contribute to anxiety.
