When does anxiety require treatment
Many individuals, especially women between the ages of 25 and 44, suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, which is characterized by excessive and persistent worry and tension about everyday life events such as work, health, and family. This disorder is diagnosed when these concerns are disproportionate to the actual situation and are accompanied by physical symptoms like headaches, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, which interfere with daily life. It is typically treated through psychotherapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, along with lifestyle improvements and medication when necessary, under medical supervision to avoid side effects. The prevalence of this disorder is approximately 1.8% worldwide, it affects women more, and it usually begins at an early age.
