What is an anxiety disorder?

Anxiety is part of the body’s response to threat. It becomes a clinical concern when fear or worry is persistent, difficult to control, out of proportion to the situation or disruptive to sleep, work, study, relationships or self-care.

The pattern is not identical for everyone. Generalised anxiety often centres on repeated worry across several areas of life. Panic disorder involves sudden episodes of intense fear with physical symptoms. Social anxiety is tied to scrutiny or social situations. Trauma, obsessive symptoms, depression and substance use need their own assessment.

Palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness, tremor, sweating, nausea and chest discomfort can occur with anxiety, but they can also have medical causes. A first or unusual episode should not be labelled as anxiety without appropriate assessment.

What You Need to Know

An anxiety consultation should separate persistent worry, panic-like episodes, social fear, trauma-related symptoms, sleep loss, medicine effects and physical conditions that can feel like anxiety. Dr. Akshata records that pattern and agrees on specific measures for follow-up.

  • Persistent worry or overthinking
  • Panic-like episodes
  • Poor sleep and restlessness
  • Palpitations or stomach symptoms
  • Avoidance affecting daily life

Episode Record

Write down the episode before memory smooths it over

Record the time, trigger, first body sensation, strongest thought, peak intensity, duration, response and what happened afterwards. A short, dated record is often more useful than trying to recall a difficult week during the appointment.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Where it can show up

When to Seek Medical Attention

  • Thoughts of suicide, self-harm or harming someone else
  • New chest pain, fainting, severe breathlessness or symptoms medically different from previous episodes
  • Hallucinations, severe confusion, extreme agitation or inability to care for yourself
  • Intoxication, unsafe substance use or possible alcohol or sedative withdrawal
  • Several nights with almost no sleep plus unusually high energy, risky behaviour or racing thoughts
  • Rapid decline in eating, drinking, work, study, childcare or basic daily function

Keep prescribed medicines, urgent care and specialist follow-up unchanged unless the treating clinician advises otherwise.

What Causes Anxiety?

Anxiety rarely has one universal cause. The consultation looks for the combination that fits the timing and pattern while avoiding assumptions about symptoms that need medical assessment.

01Stress and life events

Workload, conflict, loss, caregiving, financial strain, illness or major transitions may start or worsen symptoms.

02Sleep and stimulants

Sleep loss, irregular shifts, caffeine, nicotine and some energy products can increase physical arousal.

03Medical factors

Thyroid problems, anaemia, low glucose, heart-rhythm problems, breathing disorders and hormonal changes may produce or worsen anxiety-like symptoms.

04Medicines and substances

Some steroids, decongestants, stimulants, asthma medicines, recreational substances and withdrawal states can contribute.

05Learned fear and avoidance

Avoiding feared situations may bring short relief while making the fear harder to test and reduce over time.

06Family and personal history

Temperament, earlier experiences and family tendency can affect vulnerability, but they do not determine one fixed outcome.

Patient Information

Preparing for a consultation

Bring your reports and a list of current medicines. An examination may be needed before advice can be given.

Before You Book

What can an anxiety consultation clarify?

The first task is to understand which anxiety pattern is present, how much it interferes with daily life and whether another medical or mental-health assessment is needed.

Consider booking if
Worry, panic-like symptoms, poor sleep, avoidance or physical tension keeps returning and you want a structured review alongside current care.
What Dr. Akshata reviews
Onset, triggers, feared situations, sleep, caffeine, menstrual or thyroid history, digestion, current medicines, counselling and safety concerns.
What to bring
A symptom timeline, all current medicines and supplements, previous reports, therapy notes if available, and a seven-day sleep and episode record.
Before your consultation

What to Expect During Treatment

The first appointment reviews the anxiety timeline, feared situations, physical symptoms, sleep, caffeine, medicines, counselling, medical history and effect on daily life. Safety questions are included directly rather than left to assumption.

Follow-up uses the agreed episode and function measures. If symptoms worsen, prescribed care changes or another clinician needs to assess the patient, the plan is adjusted and documented.
