What Is Anxiety?

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural human response designed to keep us safe. In the past, anxiety was triggered by real threats like escaping predators. Today, however, many of us experience anxiety in response to everyday situations such as public speaking, work stress, or interpersonal conflict.

While occasional anxiety is normal, persistent or overwhelming anxiety can significantly impact your mental and physical health. Left untreated, anxiety may affect your relationships, work, sleep, and overall quality of life. If you feel anxiety is holding you back, seeking professional support can help.
