Anxiety

Anxiety is a common and natural response to stress or perceived threats, but when it becomes persistent, excessive, and interferes with daily life, it may develop into an anxiety disorder. Characterized by overwhelming worry, fear, and a sense of impending doom, anxiety can manifest both physically and emotionally. Individuals with anxiety disorders often experience symptoms such as restlessness, fatigue, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. Anxiety disorders can range from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to more specific conditions like panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or phobias. Understanding anxiety involves recognizing its impact on mental and physical well-being, as well as appreciating that effective treatments and coping mechanisms are available to help individuals navigate and manage these challenges. Addressing anxiety involves a holistic approach, considering both the psychological and physiological aspects, and seeking support from mental health professionals when needed.
