We can all feel anxiety due to certain unexpected and troubling situations in our daily lives. This is a normal reaction to upcoming events or current issues that we seem to have no control over. However, when these anxious feelings turn into excessive worry or fear that begins to disrupt our daily lives it is time to get professional help. The key types of anxiety include Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Social Anxiety Disorder. All of these can cause restlessness and trouble concentrating as well as trembling, sweating, and a racing heart. This is often linked to past experiences and continued stress.
