Anxiety
Understanding Anxiety:
I recognize that anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried; it can cause significant disruption in your daily life and reduce the overall enjoyment of activities. Anxiety symptoms can impact not only your emotional well-being but also your relationships with family or friends, your performance at school or work, your ability to sleep, and your capacity to concentrate on a single task.
What is Anxiety?
Nearly one-third of adults are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, and of those, one in five experience severe symptoms that disrupt their daily routine. Anxiety involves feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure, elevated heart rate, nausea, difficulty sleeping, and more. It is a normal response to stress but becomes a concern when it is constant or overwhelming.
