Anxiety is a natural human emotion that everyone experiences, but when it becomes excessive, persistent, and begins to interfere with daily life, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. These conditions are not a sign of weakness; they are real medical conditions caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and biological factors. Symptoms can manifest both mentally and physically, including feelings of intense worry, fear, and dread, as well as physical signs like a rapid heartbeat, sweating, muscle tension, and shortness of breath.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions, with several different types, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. The good news is that these conditions are highly treatable. Effective management typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and lifestyle adjustments. In many cases, a healthcare professional may also recommend medication to help manage symptoms and provide relief, allowing the individual to engage more effectively in therapy and daily activities.

Two of the most common medications prescribed for ADHD are central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. These include Adderall 30 mg, available as a generic from manufacturers like Sandoz, and Ritalin 10mg tablets. Both work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain to help improve focus, attention, and impulse control. These are prescription-only controlled substances and should only be used under the direct guidance and supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
