Our goal is to provide clear diagnosis, compassionate care and evidence-based strategies so you can reclaim confidence and calm.
An anxiety disorder is a group of mental health conditions characterised by excessive, persistent fear, worry or nervousness, along with behavioural changes to escape or avoid triggers.
Common types include:
– Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): chronic, excessive worry about a wide range of everyday issues.
– Social Anxiety Disorder: intense fear of social or performance situations due to worry of embarrassment or judgment.
– Specific Phobias: irrational fear and avoidance of a specific object or situation (e.g., heights, flying, animals).
– Separation Anxiety, Agoraphobia, and others: anxiety focused on being alone, away from home, or in open/crowded spaces.
With appropriate assessment and treatment, many people with anxiety disorders regain their balance, reduce symptoms and improve functioning.
Symptoms can vary but often fall into physical, emotional/cognitive and behavioural categories:
Anxiety disorders arise from a complex interaction of genetic, biological, psychological and environmental factors there is no single cause.
Key contributing elements include:
– Genetics & family history: A family history of anxiety disorders increases risk.
– Neurobiological and brain chemistry factors: Variations in how the brain responds to stress and regulates worry.
– Stressful life events or trauma: Major life changes (loss, transitions, abuse) may trigger onset or worsen anxiety.
– Personality & learned behaviour: Perfectionism, high sensitivity, avoidance tendencies may predispose to anxiety.
– Lifestyle & health factors: Poor sleep, caffeine, substance use, chronic medical conditions can worsen or maintain symptoms.
