What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, uncertainty, or challenging situations. However, when feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear become persistent and begin interfering with daily life, they may indicate an anxiety disorder or an underlying issue affecting your mental and physical well-being.
Anxiety can affect much more than your thoughts. It can impact sleep, energy levels, concentration, relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.
Many people living with anxiety describe feeling constantly “on edge,” even when there is no obvious reason why.

Many patients describe it as:

“My mind never seems to slow down.”

“I’m always worrying about something.”

“I feel overwhelmed by things that never used to bother me.”

“I’m exhausted, but I can’t seem to relax.”

What Causes Anxiety?

Anxiety rarely develops because of a single cause.
For many people, symptoms arise from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors that affect how the body responds to stress.
Mental and physical health are closely connected. In some cases, symptoms that feel like anxiety may be influenced by hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, poor sleep, or other underlying health concerns.
The goal is not simply to manage symptoms. The goal is to understand what may be contributing to those symptoms and create a personalized plan that supports both mental and physical well-being.
Common contributors may include:
  • Chronic stress
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Low testosterone
  • Thyroid dysfunction
  • Poor sleep quality
  • Sleep disorders
  • Chronic illness
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Major life changes
  • Trauma or past experiences
  • Family history of anxiety
  • Excess caffeine or stimulant use
  • Ongoing emotional stress

What Symptoms Are Common With Anxiety?

Anxiety can affect the mind and body in different ways.
Some people experience primarily emotional symptoms, while others notice physical symptoms that significantly affect daily life.

Many patients tell us:

“My mind is constantly running.”

“I can’t seem to shut my thoughts off.”

“I’m exhausted from worrying all the time.”

“I feel like I’m always waiting for something to go wrong.”

These symptoms are common and do not reflect weakness or a lack of resilience. Many people with anxiety spend years trying to push through symptoms without understanding the factors that may be contributing to how they feel.

Common symptoms of perimenopause include:

  • Excessive worry
  • Feeling nervous or on edge
  • Racing thoughts
  • Difficulty relaxing
  • Restlessness
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Muscle tension
  • Increased heart rate
  • Shortness of breath
  • Digestive discomfort
  • Feeling overwhelmed
  • Avoidance of certain situations
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Reduced confidence

What Can I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider?

Healthy lifestyle habits can help support emotional well-being and improve the body’s ability to manage stress.

Prioritize Sleep

Sleep and anxiety are closely connected. Improving sleep quality can help support mood, concentration, emotional regulation, and overall wellness.

Stay Physically Active

Regular movement can help reduce stress, improve mood, and support overall mental health.

Limit Excess Caffeine

For some individuals, caffeine can worsen feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and restlessness.

Practice Stress Management

Mindfulness, breathing exercises, meditation, journaling, and spending time outdoors can help support emotional resilience.

Maintain Social Connections

Strong relationships and support systems can play an important role in managing stress and improving overall well-being.
While these strategies can be beneficial, they may not fully address symptoms if underlying factors are contributing to anxiety.
