Home Remedies for Anxiety

Why am I Anxious?

Anxiety is your mind's natural response to stress, but when it’s unchecked, it can escalate and disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks feel challenging. If it persists, consulting a doctor can help identify the cause and guide you toward effective solutions.

​

Anxiety often caused by a mix of factors like,

Genetics: Family history plays a role in anxiety.

Stressful life events: Significant changes or challenges, such as relocating, job loss, or a breakup, can often trigger anxiety.

Ongoing concerns: Constant worry about work, finances, relationships, or health can contribute to feelings of anxiety.

Brain chemistry: Imbalances in brain chemicals can impact mood regulation and contribute to anxiety.

Medical conditions: Certain health issues, such as thyroid problems or heart conditions, can trigger anxiety as a secondary symptom. If you suspect this is the case, it’s important to consult your physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
