Did you know anxiety is the top reason people seek out treatment? Anxiety can look like trembling, feeling shaky or restless, muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. Symptoms can also include lightheadedness, dizziness, tingling sensations, problems falling asleep, difficulty paying attention, problems concentrating, and more. Anxiety can feel like being uncomfortable or jittery inside, feeling uneasy or nervous, and feeling unsure of yourself. Anxiety can be normal in stressful situations such as public speaking or taking a test. However, when feelings of anxiety become excessive, all-consuming, and interfere with daily life, it could be an indicator of an underlying issue.

Approximately 6.7% of adults in the US experience at least one episode of depression each year.
