Fear and anxiety can affect all of us every now and then. It is only when it is severe and long-lasting that doctors class it as a mental health problem. If you feel anxious all the time for several weeks or if it feels like your fears are taking over your life, then it’s a good idea to ask your doctor for help. The same is true if a phobia is causing problems in your daily life, or if you have panic attacks.
It may be hard to admit to fears that most other people don’t seem to have, but asking for help is a sign of strength.
Talking therapies like counseling or cognitive behavioral therapy, including self-help computerized cognitive behavioral therapy, are very effective for people with anxiety problems.
