WHAT IS ANXIETY?

Anxiety is a common and natural response to stress, but when these feelings become overwhelming, persistent, and disproportionate to daily challenges, it may indicate an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder. These disorders manifest through excessive worry, nervousness, and fear, impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Understanding anxiety is the first step in addressing its hold.

When left untreated, Anxiety can pose significant risks to both mental and physical health. It can lead to a range of issues, such as sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, and strained relationships. Physical manifestations might include increased heart rate, gastrointestinal problems, and a weakened immune system.
