## 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.
