Anxiety and depression resources
Chronic anxiety and depression can take a toll on our health, which is why it is important to learn healthy coping strategies. A healthy mental state is key to our overall health and wellness. As part of UK HealthCare’s Healthy Kentucky Initiative, we’re sharing strategies, tips and resources to help you better understand and navigate anxiety and depression.
Anxiety
Anxiety is an uncomfortable feeling of fear, uneasiness, or concern that something bad may happen. Anxiety can cause physical symptoms such as trembling, shaking, muscle aches, restlessness, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and clammy hands.
If anxiety interferes with your daily activities, you may need treatment with medicines (such as antidepressants or antianxiety medicines) and/or professional counseling.
