Signs of Anxiety: How to Recognise When Worry Becomes a Problem

Anxiety is a natural human response to perceived threats, but when it becomes persistent and overwhelming, it may indicate an anxiety disorder. Common signs include persistent worry that feels disproportionate to the situation, physical symptoms like a racing heart, difficulty sleeping, and avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety. If anxiety is affecting your daily life, relationships, or work, it may be time to seek professional support. At Mindful UK, we offer evidence-based therapies including CBT and mindfulness to help you manage anxiety effectively.
