World Health Organization (WHO) informs that about 4% of the global population is suffering from anxiety disorders, which make up about 301 million people. Feeling anxious at times is normal, but those diagnosed with anxiety disorders are likely to experience anxiety without any reason as well. Living with physical and behavioral symptoms of anxiety is difficult. With empathetic professional care and support, patients can manage anxiety.

Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are characterized by incontrollable stress and worry. Anxiety can manifest itself in different ways. Here’s how anxiety can be separated from normal stress:

  • Heart palpitations
  • Shivering and getting clammy hands
  • Sweating
  • Feeling like a difficult situation is approaching
  • Shaking
  • Nausea or vomiting

The symptoms may vary according to the different anxiety disorders. For instance, panic disorder is characterized by panic attacks, with or without triggers. This can be different from, say, social anxiety disorder, which can make a person feel anxious due to the anticipation of a social event.

Anxiety and Substance Use: Need for Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Anxiety puts one more at risk of substance use disorder. WHO and most agencies inform that one of the most common risks associated with anxiety is substance abuse. In case you suffer from such an issue, dual diagnosis is available. Dual diagnosis essentially means treating both anxiety and substance use simultaneously. Unless both conditions are treated, the issue will persist. Both treatments can be taken at once at our virtual or on-site facility in Fairlawn, New Jersey.
