What is anxiety disorder? It is a type of mental health condition. If you have an anxiety disorder, you may respond to certain things and situations with fear and dread. You may also experience physical signs of anxiety, such as a pounding heart and sweating.
General symptoms of an anxiety disorder includes:

• Feeling panic, fear and uneasiness.
• Repeated thoughts or flashbacks of traumatic experiences.
• Uncontrollable, obsessive thoughts.
• Inability to be still and calm.
• Ritualistic behaviors, such as washing hands repeatedly.
We may have to find ways to cope with an anxiety disorder, if so here is how you can start?
There are several steps you can take to cope with anxiety disorder symptoms. These strategies can also make your treatment more effective:
• Explore stress management.
• Limit or avoid caffeine
• Talk to your healthcare provider.
If you have an anxiety disorder, ask your provider:
• What’s the best treatment for me?
• Do I need medication? What type?
• How long should I take medication?
• What type of psychotherapy will work best?
• What else can I do to manage my symptoms?
• What other conditions am I at risk for?
