When does anxiety become something more?
It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time. But when anxiety starts to interfere with your ability to sleep, focus, connect with others, or complete daily tasks, it might be time to explore professional support. Common symptoms of anxiety disorders include:
-
Feeling restless or on edge
-
Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Muscle tension
-
Irritability
-
Fatigue
-
Racing thoughts or obsessive worry
If you’re checking more than a few of these boxes, it’s worth talking to a psychiatric provider about your options.
How does medication for anxiety work?
Anxiety medications are designed to help rebalance brain chemistry and reduce the intensity of symptoms over time. Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend:
-
SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors): Often considered a first-line treatment for chronic anxiety
-
SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors): Another common, long-term option
-
Benzodiazepines: Fast-acting medications for short-term relief of severe symptoms (monitored and used cautiously)
-
Other medications: In some cases, other medications like beta blockers may be used
The goal is always to find the lowest effective dose with the fewest side effects, ideally in combination with therapy and lifestyle support.
