What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress — but when it becomes persistent, overwhelming, or interferes with daily life, it may be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions and can affect people of all ages and backgrounds.

At Ascend Psychiatry, we provide medical evaluations and evidence-based treatment options — including personalized medication management — for individuals struggling with anxiety. If you're feeling constantly on edge or unable to control worry, we're here to help you find relief.

What are the Symptoms of Anxiety?

Symptoms of anxiety can vary from person to person, but often include excessive worry, restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, or physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or gastrointestinal discomfort. These feelings can come and go or persist over time, often without an obvious cause.

While it's normal to feel anxious occasionally, chronic or intense anxiety can impact work, relationships, and overall quality of life. A professional assessment can help determine if what you're experiencing is an anxiety disorder — and what to do next.
