Being psychologically anxious is very different in comparison to simply being anxious about odd situations, such as worrying about being late for work or something that isn’t life-affecting to your life.
In this article we’ll go into what it is and how to treat it.

Crucially, when we talk about psychological anxiety, what we mean is conditions such as paranoia, where the individual is experiencing a form of psychosis or schizophrenia.
Each individual experiences anxiety different to another one, however there is familiarity amongst each case of it. Here are some of the most common symptoms of psychological anxiety.
- Hearing voices or being told to follow instructions from their delusions
- Thinking people are constantly out to ‘1 up’ or hurt them in some way
- Take their personal security seriously to an excessive level (padlocking doors, installing lots of CCTV, investing in premium home security)
What are the generalized anxiety disorder symptoms?
Everybody experiences anxiety (even the president of the United States) but generalised anxiety means that someone is generally more susceptible to the feeling of anxiety than other individuals.
Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms are commonly the following:
- Flushed face that goes red (not like blushing)
- Sweaty palms
- Wobbly legs
- Stimming such as biting nails or bouncing leg up and down unconciously
What causes anxiety?

Here are some of the most common causes of anxiety:
- inherited genetics from parents

The ‘Extreme’ variant of anxiety is when an individual has become so enslaved almost by their anxiety that their lives feel ruled by the condition. From the day they wake up to when they go back to bed, they can’t help thinking all situations are dangerous and most likely not leave their home for a long time and dislike going to places such as the grocery store
