Anxiety Help Calgary
We’ve all experienced feelings of anxiousness before an important test or when making a speech in front of a large group – the feeling of butterflies in your stomach, sweating and nervousness. But what if you get these feelings when you’re not preparing for or experiencing an important event? This could be a sign that you suffer from an anxiety disorder.
We welcome you to take a look at our psychological evaluation page, many times these evaluations make highly valuable contributions to evaluating psychological conditions.
Anxiety disorders involve your body having a “flight or fight” response when there is no real threat or responding with an intensity that is out of proportion to what is happening. Symptoms of anxiety include:
- Fear, tension, edginess
- Worry, confusion, a feeling like you want to run away
- Shaking, excess sweating, tight muscles
- Are you experiencing feelings of worthlessness and despair?
- Are you constantly preoccupied with your weight and taking drastic measures to avoid gaining weight?
