Homeopathic Treatment for Anxiety

What is Anxiety?

One might experience a state of fear or worry before confronting some challenging event like a test or an interview where the outcome of the situation is uncertain. This mental state, which is characterized by feelings like fear, uneasiness, worry, and dismay, is known as anxiety.

Anxiety is generally related to situations which are perceived to be uncontrollable and unavoidable. It normally happens to most of us, but when this worry or fear reaches a level where it starts interfering with the person's capacity to function normally and causes disturbances even in sleep, then it is considered a problem. It can seriously affect behaviour and daily life.

One might experience mental symptoms like being afraid to leave home and having nightmares, or physical symptoms like chest pains or loss of consciousness.

Anxiety may have physical, cognitive, or behavioral effects and can take several forms like phobia, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive neuroses.
