Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, often experienced when faced with uncertainty, danger, or a challenging situation. However, when these feelings of worry, fear, or nervousness become excessive or last for extended periods, they can interfere with daily life. Anxiety can manifest in several forms, including generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias. Each type comes with its own set of triggers and symptoms, but they all share the common theme of intense and persistent worry or fear.
While everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, chronic anxiety can affect your daily activities, relationships, work, and overall wellbeing. Recognising the signs early and seeking support can make a big difference in managing symptoms and finding relief. Anxiety is treatable, and with the right care, you can regain a sense of calm and control in your life.
