stress v. anxiety
Stress and anxiety are often used interchangeably, but they are different. Stress is the body’s response to a real, immediate threat—like encountering a bear while camping. It triggers emotional and physical reactions aimed at protecting you.
Anxiety, on the other hand, occurs without an obvious cause. For example, worrying about a possible bear encounter—even when it’s unlikely—can create emotional and physical symptoms. Anxiety is rooted in concern about potential threats rather than immediate danger.
If you or a loved one are experiencing chronic stress or persistent anxiety, our clinicians at Vantage Point can provide support and evidence-based treatment.
What is an Anxiety Disorder?
An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition marked by persistent worry, fear, or physical symptoms that can be hard to control. People with anxiety disorders may avoid situations that trigger their anxiety, which can lead to isolation or difficulties in daily life.
Anxiety can affect relationships, work, or school, causing significant challenges. Our therapists at Vantage Point can help you manage your worries and regain balance in your life.
