Anxiety
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal human emotion, but when it becomes excessive, persistent, and interferes with daily life, it can develop into an anxiety disorder, characterized by excessive worry, fear, and physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and muscle tension.
Anxiety is a common human experience that serves as a natural response to stress or perceived threats, helping individuals stay alert and safe. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, uncontrollable, and interferes with daily life, it can develop into an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, are characterized by intense, persistent worry, fear, and physical symptoms, like heart palpitations, sweating, and restlessness. These conditions can lead to impairment in daily functioning, including work, social interactions, and personal relationships. Effective treatments for anxiety disorders often involve therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, and lifestyle adjustments to help individuals manage their symptoms, regain control over their lives, and reduce the impact of anxiety.
