Anxiety Treatment

People can say, “Why am I so anxious?” Most times the answer to this question can be connected to multiple things including deregulation of sleep, diet, exercise, and thought patterns.

Believe it or not but the foods we eat, the way we sleep, and how much we exercise can either improve or increase levels of anxiety. How many of you find that your anxiety has risen in the last few years? Are you able to notice what you’re anxious about? Well anxiety in the U.S. has been rising each year, and many individuals are unaware of all the things that can be causing these sometimes drastic changes.

Anxiety causes many symptoms including worrying about one or many different things throughout the day, a sense of uneasiness about the day’s events, can be intrusive to a person’s day or thought process, and can cause all kinds of physical symptoms including sweating, trembling, dizziness, rapid heart rate, nausea, and/or feeling of dread as if something awful might happen. Science tells us that the body has these symptoms for many reasons, and until a person determines if those reasons are based on health or other forms of maladaptive processes in the brain they continue to struggle.
