What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is more than occasional worry. It’s a constant undercurrent of fear or nervousness that interferes with your daily life. Many of our clients in Rochester don’t realize how deeply anxiety affects their thoughts, behaviors, and physical health—until they begin therapy.

• Persistent worry, even without a clear reason
• Racing thoughts or inability to concentrate
• Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or restlessness
• Avoidance of certain situations or places
• Sleep problems or fatigue
• Physical tension (jaw clenching, stomach aches, etc.)
• Panic attacks

What Is Depression?

Depression affects how you feel, think, and function—both mentally and physically. It can come on gradually or feel like a sudden emotional crash. At Rochester Therapy Center, we’ve worked with individuals throughout Rochester, MN who struggle with everything from seasonal blues to chronic major depression.

• Persistent sadness or low mood
• Lack of motivation or interest in once-enjoyed activities
• Feelings of hopelessness or emptiness
• Fatigue or sleeping too much/little
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness
• Difficulty focusing or making decisions
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
