Persistent Anxiety
Most people dismiss feelings of anxiousness as just being an emotional issue. However, the brain and body are closely linked, and there can be many causes of anxiety besides personal problems. If you are regularly getting excessive anxiety over small things, you may have a panic disorder, stress disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder.
Anxiety can also be due to external issues and medical problems. Sensations of anxiety are closely linked to instinctive “fight or flight” responses, so they can be triggered by certain hormones in the body. Drug use, adrenal tumors, hormonal imbalances, hyperthyroidism, and insomnia can all cause a person to develop unusual anxiety. Seeking treatment for these issues can help to reduce anxiety in many cases.
