Anxiety disorders exist on a spectrum, and recognizing where someone falls on that spectrum is the first step toward getting help.
Mild In its early stages, anxiety may look like excessive worry that feels difficult to control, restlessness or feeling on edge, or physical tension in your muscles, jaw, or shoulders that won’t relax. You might find yourself avoiding certain situations, or noticing that everyday decisions feel more stressful than they should.
Moderate As anxiety intensifies, the signs become harder to ignore. Avoidance of social situations, work tasks, or everyday activities is common. Relationships suffer. You may find yourself experiencing racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, or sleep disruption, having physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, or digestive issues, or feeling irritable and overwhelmed by ordinary demands.
Severe At this stage, the body and brain are deeply affected. Panic attacks may occur — sudden episodes of intense fear with chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Daily functioning becomes severely limited. Avoidance behaviors dominate life, and leaving home or facing routine tasks feels impossible, and the cycle of anxiety and avoidance feels overwhelming.
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs at any severity level, help is available. Healing begins with a single step.

Supporting someone through anxiety is one of the hardest things a family can do. These evidence-based steps can help you take care of both yourself and your loved one.
Anxiety disorders are medical conditions rooted in brain chemistry and nervous system function — not a sign of weakness. Understanding the clinical nature of anxiety helps you respond with patience rather than frustration.
Communicate limits with compassion: “I love you, and I want to support your healing while also taking care of myself.” Follow through consistently.
While it’s natural to want to help them avoid anxiety triggers, over-accommodation reinforces avoidance patterns. Gently encourage them to face fears with professional support rather than shielding them from all discomfort.
Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering family dynamics, supporting a loved one with anxiety, and mental health education. Open to family members 18+.
Your wellbeing matters. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group like NAMI Family-to-Family, and maintain your own routines and social connections.
Use “I” statements: “I’ve noticed you seem to be struggling, and I care about you.” Choose a calm, low-pressure moment and offer specific help rather than vague reassurance.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
