Anxiety
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Anxiety is a natural alert response to situations we perceive as threatening; it becomes a reason for attention when it is intense, frequent, or out of proportion and starts to interfere with daily life.
How does it show up? It can include constant worry, restlessness, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating or sleeping, and physical sensations such as palpitations or shortness of breath.
When is it worth seeking help? When symptoms persist over time, cause marked distress, or affect work, studies, or relationships, it is worth consulting.
Which professional treats it? Emotional health is assessed mainly by the psychologist and the psychiatrist, who guide the approach according to each person. If you feel that anxiety is overwhelming you, reaching out to a mental health professional is a step of self-care that can help you.
