Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects individuals differently, characterised by feelings of worry, nervousness, and fear that can interfere with daily life. It can manifest differently in each individual, and its impact can vary in severity and scope. At Amity Mental Wellness, we recognize the unique challenges posed by generalised anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, illness anxiety, and other anxiety disorders.

As a general member of the public, it's essential to understand how anxiety affects daily life. Anxiety can impact an individual's ability to:

Perform daily tasks
Maintain relationships
Engage in activities they once enjoyed

It can also lead to physical symptoms such as:

Headaches
Fatigue
Sleep disturbances

At Amity Mental Wellness, we help individuals manage these challenges by providing evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These therapies empower individuals to develop coping strategies and improve their overall wellbeing.

Recognizing Anxiety Signs, Symptoms, and Support

Common signs and symptoms of anxiety include:

Excessive worry
Restlessness
Feeling on edge
Avoidance of certain situations or activities

Individuals may also experience physical symptoms such as:

Rapid heartbeat
Sweating
Trembling

To recognize anxiety in oneself or a loved one, look for changes in behaviour, mood, or physical symptoms that persist over time. If you're concerned about your own anxiety or that of a loved one, consult a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Supporting a Loved One with Anxiety

As a carer for a family member or friend, supporting a loved one with anxiety can be challenging. It's essential to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. Encourage your loved one to seek professional help and offer to accompany them to appointments. Educate yourself about anxiety and its treatment options to better understand what your loved one is experiencing.
