What is Anxiety?

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural human emotion that everyone experiences at times — it’s the body’s response to stress, danger, or uncertainty. However, when feelings of fear, worry, or unease become constant, overwhelming, or interfere with daily life, it may indicate an anxiety disorder. At Live Life Rehab India, we help individuals understand, manage, and overcome anxiety through holistic, therapeutic, and evidence-based approaches.

1. Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders involve more than temporary fear or nervousness. For individuals with anxiety disorders, the worry doesn’t go away and can worsen over time, affecting personal relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.

  • Persistent, excessive fear or tension
  • Physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, or a rapid heartbeat
  • Avoidance of certain places, situations, or people

2. Common Types of Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety can appear in different forms. Our mental health professionals assess and treat each type with personalized care and therapy.

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Constant worry about everyday issues
  • Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense panic attacks with physical symptoms
  • Social Anxiety Disorder: Extreme fear of being judged or embarrassed in social settings
  • Phobias: Intense fear of specific objects or situations
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Repetitive thoughts and behaviors to relieve anxiety
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Anxiety following trauma or distressing events

3. Causes & Risk Factors

Anxiety can arise due to a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Recognizing the root causes is essential for lasting recovery.

  • Genetic predisposition or family history of anxiety
  • Chronic stress, trauma, or abuse
  • Substance use or withdrawal effects
  • Medical conditions affecting hormones or brain chemistry
  • Personality traits such as perfectionism or low self-esteem

4. Signs & Symptoms

Anxiety can manifest both mentally and physically. Common signs include:
