Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety is now separated from the condition of depression. Although many who suffer from
depression also have anxiety issues. Patients who suffer from depression tend to dwell on the
past and feel very negative about themselves, and life in general. This is not typical in the case of
patients suffering from anxiety. They will worry excessively about the here and now, or the
future. Their lives are full of “what ifs,” in the eventuality of a disaster. Symptoms of anxiety can
vary in individuals, but here are a few to look out for:
Feeling tense for no reason, on edge and almost nervous.
The sense of dread and impending doom.
Unable to sleep because of worry.
General restlessness and fidgeting, unable to relax.
Lack of concentration.
Irritable for no reason.
Breaking out in a cold sweat.
Shaking.
Feeling nauseous.
Digestive and intestinal upsets.
