Understanding Anxiety:
Navigating Through the Storm
Anxiety
What is It?
Anxiety is a common and multifaceted emotional response to perceived threats or stress, characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, and unease. It can manifest through physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling, as well as mental symptoms like recurrent worrying and hyper-vigilance. While a natural part of human experience, persistent anxiety can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall quality of life, signaling the need for professional intervention.
