Stress anxiety treatment is essential when your mind feels constantly overwhelmed, restless, or trapped in overthinking. Chronic stress and anxiety are not personality flaws — they are nervous system imbalances driven by cortisol overload, amygdala hyperactivity, and emotional memory loops
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic stress significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and depression.

| Mental Challenge | How Patient Describes It | Main Root Cause |
|---|---|---|
| Stress | “Bahut tension hai, dimag shant nahi hota” | Chronic activation of fight-or-flight (high cortisol) due to work/family/money pressure |
| Anxiety / Ghabrahat | “Ghabrahat hoti hai, dil baith jata hai” | Overactive amygdala + low GABA/serotonin + past unresolved fear |
| Depression | “Mann udaas, kuch achha nahi lagta, jeene ka man nahi” | Low serotonin/dopamine + inflammation + feeling of helplessness & loss |
| Claustrophobia | “Lift ya band kamre mein dar lagta hai” | Past trapped experience (real or imagined) stored in subconscious |
| Overthinking / Rumination | “Ek baat dimag mein ghumti rehti hai” | Hyperactive default mode network + inability to let go of control |
| Social Anxiety | “Logo ke samne dar lagta hai, muh se awaaz nahi niklti” | Fear of negative evaluation + childhood criticism/shaming |
| Insomnia | “Raat bhar neend nahi aati, dimag chaloo rehta hai” | Overactive sympathetic nervous system + racing thoughts at night |
| Panic Attacks | Achanak lagta hai mar jaunga, saans ruk jati hai | Sudden surge of adrenaline triggered by misinterpretation of body sensation |
| OCD Thoughts | “Baar-baar dar lagta hai, ritual karna padta hai” | Brain circuitry imbalance (orbitofrontal cortex–basal ganglia loop) |
| Anger Outbursts | “Chhoti baat pe gussa aa jata hai” | Suppressed emotions + low serotonin + childhood unresolved anger |
| Low Confidence | “Mujhse kuch nahi hoga, sab mujhe kamzor samajhte hain” | Repeated criticism in childhood + comparison with others |
| Exam / Performance Anxiety | “Exam se pehle sab bhool jata hoon” | Fear of failure + excessive importance given to result |
| PTSD | “Purani ghatna yaad aate hi dar lagta hai” | Traumatic memory stuck in amygdala without proper processing |
| Burnout | “Sab kuch karne ke baad bhi thaka sa rehta hoon” | Chronic stress without recovery → adrenal fatigue + dopamine depletion |
