What Is
Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural and often adaptive response to stress, alerting us to potential threats and enabling us to stay vigilant and safe. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming, persistent, or disproportionate to the situation, it can have a debilitating impact on an individual’s life. Anxiety disorders encompass a range of conditions characterized by excessive worry, fear, or nervousness, which can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall well-being.
For those dealing with anxiety disorders, it’s important to understand that it’s not simply a matter of “worrying too much” or “feeling nervous.” Anxiety disorders are complex and can manifest in various ways, affecting thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even physical sensations. However, when anxiety becomes chronic, severe, or irrational, it can be debilitating.

Anxiety disorders come in various forms, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent and excessive worry about everyday things, often without a clear cause.
Panic Disorder: Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks accompanied by intense fear.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that disrupt daily life.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Anxiety and emotional distress following a traumatic event.
Specific Phobias: Intense fear of a specific object or situation, such as heights or spiders.
