Importance of treating anxiety disorders
Anxiety may sound very stressful, but occasionally feeling it is a part of regular life. What’s not normal is experiencing recurrent and uncontrolled episodes of anxiety. These are known as anxiety disorders.
If you think you’re facing episodes of anxiety disorder, consider if you’re experiencing some of the following symptoms:
- Feeling helpless, nervous, irritable and restless
- Feeling tense and jumpy
- Thoughts about the worst that could happen
- Lack of concentration
- Sleep problems – trouble falling/staying asleep, lack of sleep quality
- Trembling
- Heart racing
These feelings are unhealthy if they have an effect on your quality of life and prevent you from functioning normally. It’s important not to keep it to yourself and look for a specialist immediately.
At Life and Therapy, we care about your mental health and want you to know that you’re not alone. If you’re experiencing anxiety symptoms, you need to look for help as soon as possible.

Why is it important to treat anxiety?
Feeling anxious about doing something scary (like jumping off a plane with a parachute) is a normal feeling and doesn’t need treatment. However, when anxiety is interfering with your regular daily activities such as going to school, work, or just not being able to feel calm at your home, it’s significant and needs treatment.
One of the symptoms of anxiety is lack of concentration. Having this mental disorder doesn’t let people function as usual. It interferes with their work, school, and relationships with family and friends. It is important to deal with and can lead to many other problems in your life if you do not treat it seriously. You need to understand that this is a mental condition, this disorder can be controlled, and nobody should be dealing with the symptoms.
