That said, it’s when this worry escalates and becomes excessive or uncontrollable that we need to take action. Anxiety comes with harmful physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that include:
- Dread or a sense of impending doom
- Rapid heartbeat
- Sweating
- Muscle tension
- Inability to focus or pay attention
- Irritability
- Fatigue
- Insomnia, or other sleep disturbances
