When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that psychotherapy is usually the most effective option. Art psychotherapy is another tool that can help uncover the triggers that lead to anxiety, which can often cause intense feelings and difficult symptoms.

These are some common symptoms of anxiety:

• Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
• Feelings of danger, panic or dread
• Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
• Increased or heavy sweating
• Trembling or muscle twitching
• Weakness or lethargy
• Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
• Insomnia
• Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
