Stress & Anxiety
Anxiety is normal : to a degree. But what level is typical and what degree requires therapy? A little anxiety is healthy — motivating, even. However, the distinction is if your anxiety unfortunately causes you unnecessary distress and suffering and is negatively impacting your work life, social life, or family life. That’s when a licensed counselor can help dramatically.
Anxiety is a critical emotion that lets us know we are stressed, something is important to us, or a sign we want to protect ourselves.
Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only 37% of those suffering receive treatment. The most common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, acute stress and adjustment disorder.
