What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, fear, tension, or uneasiness. It can also be accompanied by physical symptoms such as sweating, accelerated heartbeat, and shortness of breath.
Anxiety (an emotion) differs from anxiety disorders that are severe and chronic in nature. While normal anxiety can be a short-lived reaction to stress, anxiety disorders can cause intense and excessive worry or fear that interferes with your life.
Who is an anxiety therapist?
An anxiety therapist is a mental health professional trained to provide treatment for anxiety disorders through therapy, counselling, and other techniques. They help clients work through the underlying causes of their worries and fears, with the ultimate goal of overcoming them. They also help you understand your triggers and help develop coping mechanisms.
An anxiety therapist can be a psychiatrist, psychologist, or counsellor. The treatment approach your therapist chooses largely depends on your needs as well as their expertise.
For instance, a psychologist may choose to treat anxiety mainly through psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In contrast, a psychiatrist specializing in anxiety treatment may prescribe medications either on their own or in conjunction with therapeutic treatment.
