Life is challenging, and everyone feels tense or stressed about things sometimes, but when worrying thoughts, fears, panic attacks, or uncomfortable, anxious feelings become severe; and start to interfere with your functioning and daily happiness, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mental health counseling can help restore your sense of calm and get you back to enjoying life, rather than living wound up in knots with the discomfort of fear and anxiety.
