Adults
If you are anxious, you may find yourself worrying about and avoiding certain feared situations, places or people. You might avoid those situations entirely. Or you might do your best to escape them when they occur. At times, you also might tough it out and endure, despite being afraid, panicking, or feeling uncomfortable.
If, as a result of your fears, you find yourself unable to live your life fully. If you are missing out opportunities in social, family, occupational, educational or romantic areas, you may have anxiety.
Anxiety sometimes comes along with other distressing issues. You may also find yourself depressed, compulsively pulling your hair, having sexual problems, or suffering from insomnia. You may know when and where these problems started, such as in traumatic situations, or be unsure about how you've come to this point.
You may also have difficulty with assertiveness, which often accompanies social anxiety or other concerns. Because you don't stand up for yourself effectively, you might be taken advantage of in relationships, and/or at work.
Anxiety and depression may also be associated with phase of life issues, such as transitions between school and work, work stress and unemployment, relationship status changes, infertility, and grief and the adjustment to losing loved ones. Anxiety and depression can also have serious impact on romantic relationships. I treat couples who have significant relationship difficulty stemming from these issues.
