Introduction:
Anxiety isn’t just a feeling in your head. It has tangible physical manifestations like increased heart rate, sweating, muscle tension, and digestive issues. Psychologically, it involves excessive worry, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of restlessness or irritability. Anxiety in itself is not a disease but a signal, indicating something needs your attention.
If you are looking for a holistic approach towards treating anxiety disorders, Dr. Mitali Soni Loya is here to guide you.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety has often been characterized as a disease. But anxiety in its raw form is the most normal and basic emotion that we humans go through almost every day.
Any worry or uneasiness about an upcoming/future event is termed anxiety. It is a normal stress reaction.
Anxiety is more than worry.
When anxiety becomes persistently excessive and starts to interfere with your everyday chores, it becomes a mental disorder. It further leads to distress, impairment, and depression.
