Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Another common sign of anxiety, especially in chronic suffers, is the excessive use of alcohol and unprescribed drugs to deal with the symptoms. Doing this would make them feel better temporarily, but increase the risk of further issues and complications in the future. Make sure to be honest with yourself about the role that alcohol or drugs play in your treatment for anxiety. If you think everything is out of control and these substances have a harmful effect, talk to your doctor, loved ones, or friends to seek help. [4]
