What is Adult Anxiety?
Anxiety In Adults 
Anxiety is a common emotion that is needed to survive and is experienced by all people. Other words used to describe the emotion include fear, shyness, worry, nerves, or stressed. People differ in the extent and degree to which they experience anxiety and in the types of situations that produce anxiety. When an individual experiences anxiety to such an extent or in such situations that it reduces their enjoyment or functioning in life, they might consider seeking help. Prolonged or intense anxiety may lead to physical symptoms such as sweating, a racing or pounding heart, blushing, trembling, nausea, or feeling dizzy. Anxiety generally occurs as a response to a feared situation and is exacerbated by negative or fearful thoughts.
Treatment for Anxiety Problems
The good news is that there are a number of very effective treatments now available for anxiety disorders. These include various medications and psychological treatments. Scientifically, the best-studied and most demonstrated techniques include medications such as SSRIs and the psychological techniques often referred to as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). At the Emotional Health Clinic we offer cognitive behavioural therapy for all of the anxiety disorders as well as for problems related to anxiety such as depression, relationship difficulties, or work-related problems.
