Anxiety

Anxiety disorders can take several forms, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Each presents differently but shares common symptoms such as persistent fear and physical unease.

Common symptoms include:

• Excessive worry or nervousness
• Restlessness or irritability
• Shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat
• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
• Chest tightness or dizziness
• Feeling a loss of control or impending danger

For some individuals, panic attacks can cause sudden and intense fear that mimics a heart attack, while social anxiety may cause extreme self-consciousness during social interactions.

Treatment for anxiety is personalized based on severity, triggers, and individual needs. At Nano Hospitals, our multidisciplinary mental health team — including psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors — provides holistic care to help patients achieve calm and control.

Our treatment options include:

• Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy): Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based therapies help patients identify and modify negative thought patterns.
• Medication Management: Antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed to stabilize mood and reduce symptoms under close medical supervision.
• Lifestyle and Behavioral Therapy: Incorporates regular exercise, mindfulness, yoga, and relaxation techniques to improve mental resilience.
• Support and Counseling: Emotional support, group therapy, and education for patients and families foster a positive recovery environment.

In some cases, a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle modification ensures the most effective, long-term recovery.

If anxiety symptoms interfere with your sleep, work, or relationships, or cause physical distress such as panic attacks, it’s time to consult a specialist. At Nano Hospitals, early evaluation and treatment can prevent worsening of symptoms and restore quality of life.
