Anxiety and Worried Thoughts may look like many things:
- Difficulty concentrating or restlessness
- Worried thoughts that continue running through your mind
- Being aware that you worry more than might be necessary
- Being irritable or easily startled
- Sleep disturbance, fatigue, or being tired all the time
- Experiencing headaches, muscle aches, body tension, stomach aches

Psychotherapy is effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety. The treatment process involves learning to identify triggers to anxiety, examining feelings and thoughts, and developing adaptive and healthy responses.
