WHAT IS ANXIETY?
Your body’s natural reaction to stress is anxiety. It is a sensation of worry or uneasiness about what lies ahead or what would be the outcome. For instance, some people may experience anxiety and fear before going to a job interview or delivering a speech on the first day of class. Anxiety is a familiar and often positive feeling. However, it could develop into a medical disorder if a person experiences excessive levels of worry regularly.
A group of mental health conditions known as anxiety disorders causes extreme trepidation, fear, apprehension, and worry. But if your anxiety symptoms are severe, last for at least six months, and interfere with your life, you could suffer from an anxiety disorder. In addition to causing physical symptoms, many illnesses impact how a person behaves and processes emotions.
