OVERVIEW

Anxiety is a normal emotion that we all experience at one point or another. It is the body’s natural response to stress or danger. However, for some people, anxiety can become so severe that it interferes with their daily lives. This is known as an anxiety disorder.

An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition that is characterized by persistent and excessive worry, fear, and stress. These feelings can be so strong that they start to interfere with your daily life. If you are struggling to control your anxiety, it is important to seek professional help.
