Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal human response to stress, uncertainty, or perceived threats. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, difficult to control, or interferes with daily functioning, it may be associated with an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions worldwide and can affect people of all ages.¹²

Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, but chronic anxiety can impact physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life. Effective treatments and management strategies are available for many individuals experiencing anxiety-related symptoms.³
