About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 30,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived threats, but when it becomes excessive or persistent, it can interfere significantly with daily life. It often manifests as feelings of worry, fear, or unease, accompanied by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling. Understanding anxiety involves recognising its various forms, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. It's essential to acknowledge that anxiety is a common mental health condition, and seeking support is a proactive step towards managing it effectively.

Effective treatment for anxiety

Fortunately, anxiety is highly treatable, and numerous approaches can help individuals regain control and improve their quality of life. Evidence-based treatments include psychotherapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and self-care practices. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is particularly effective in addressing the underlying thought patterns and behaviours contributing to anxiety. Medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or benzodiazepines may also be prescribed in certain cases. Additionally, holistic approaches like mindfulness meditation, exercise, and relaxation techniques can complement traditional treatments, offering a comprehensive approach to managing anxiety.
