Anxiety is the number one mental health complaint in America. Over 20 million adults in the U.S. suffer from some type of anxiety. The good news is that people who seek help have a very high success rate. Everybody worries or gets anxious from time to time – and the right amount of anxiety can even improve performance and focus. But when the worry and anxiety becomes excessive, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can get much worse if it goes untreated. The great news is that the sooner you get help for managing anxiety, the easier it is to obtain relief. Anxiety can be the result of negative events or trauma, but it can also develop without incident or warning.

We all know what anxiety feels like… and sometimes it can even be helpful in pursuing our goals and alerting us to the inevitable dangers of human living.

But when our natural human inclination for anxiety becomes a problem that keeps us from living the life we desire, it’s important to seek help.

Anxiety is a problem if…

• you worry excessively about work, family, money, health, school performance, or any other aspect of life
• you avoid situations or people out of fear of experiencing anxiety, panic, embarrassment, or failing to meet expectations
• you seek constant reassurance in relationships
• you find it difficult to complete tasks because of perfectionism or procrastination
• you struggle with specific phobias
