When worries start to dominate your life<\/strong><\/h4>

Everyone feels tense or nervous at times. However, with anxiety symptoms, that tension takes the upper hand. This includes feelings of panic, worrying, physical restlessness, or avoidance behavior. <\/p>


Anxiety disorders can severely limit daily functioning \u2014 including in the workplace. Employees with anxiety symptoms report sick more often, have difficulty with deadlines, meetings, or social situations, and are less able to perform their work. Timely assistance is therefore crucial. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How do you recognize anxiety symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>

Typical signs among employees include:<\/p>

  • Frequent worrying or “catastrophizing”<\/p><\/li>

  • Concentration problems<\/p><\/li>

  • Avoiding meetings, social situations, or tasks<\/p><\/li>

  • Physical symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or nausea<\/p><\/li>

  • Unexplained absenteeism<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    Without treatment, anxiety symptoms can worsen or develop into depression or burnout.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
