Anxiety & ADHD Q&A
Feeling anxious before a big event or when facing challenges is normal — stress hormones can help sharpen your focus and reactions. However, when worry or fear becomes overwhelming or constant, it may be an anxiety disorder.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) causes persistent worry about many aspects of life, while phobias involve intense fear of specific objects or situations. Social anxiety disorder centers around fear of interacting with others.
Other mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can also trigger anxiety.
Common symptoms include:
- Nervousness or restlessness
- Muscle tension
- Irritability or difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue or disrupted sleep
- Palpitations and fast breathing
- Excessive sweating or trembling
- Panic attacks
Panic attacks may involve breathlessness, chest pain, or overwhelming fear, often causing people to isolate themselves to avoid future attacks.
At Chime Health Corporation, anxiety treatment is personalized to your needs and severity. Effective approaches include:
- Solution-focused brief therapy
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Anti-anxiety medication
- Lifestyle adjustments and stress management
