Some of the most detrimental symptoms of anxiety are uncontrollable thoughts that cause you extreme remorse, sadness, fear, or behavioral changes. You may remember a time where you did something embarrassing and become caught in a spiral of one negative thought after the other. Experts commonly reference people experiencing anxiety as being held captive by their past experiences and unable to move forward in their lives. If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing a form of anxiety.

Because of the stigma surrounding the word anxiety, many people don’t actually discuss it. However, it is estimated that 1 in 5 citizens in the U.S suffers from anxiety. According to recent Census statistics, that equals approximately 40 million people. When someone is experiencing anxiety, they are typically feeling alienated and disconnected from the group.

There is a silver lining here; because anxiety is so widespread, it is a subject that has been studied at length. From thousands of clinical studies and psychological testing, it has been proven that you can move past your anxiety and on to a brighter future. By working with a trained, qualified, and professional therapist like Avant-Garde, you will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

For most, suffering from anxiety means that you are vulnerable to social scenarios where others may scrutinize your behavior and actions. It is nearly impossible to feel comfortable if you are not secure with your status around others. With this major uncertainty, even the smallest negativity can feel like a total rejection. In others, this anxiety can manifest itself in the face of performance-related situations. Opportunities like public speaking, large meetings, interviews, and even social gatherings can feel very discomforting. Some individuals may feel completely out of place in all social situations, even those where they should feel relaxed and at ease, like a family dinner or birthday party.

Anxiety is not limited to adults only. Adolescents and young people may also experience anxiety. This can cause children to turn away from important developmental situations like social interactions, meeting new people at school, and even dating. Anxiety in minors can be even more detrimental than in adults. Minors may experience withdrawal from school activities and interactions. This will cause an adolescent to suffer from extreme worrying over their performance and peer to peer interactions.

The very common problem of anxiety can be tackled with the help of a licensed therapist.
