Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human response to stress—but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with daily life, relationships and overall well-being. Many people experience anxiety in different forms, from occasional worry to chronic conditions like generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks or social anxiety. It can affect anyone, regardless of age or background, and often shows up as constant nervousness, racing thoughts, sleep problems or physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat or trouble breathing. The good news is that anxiety is highly manageable, and with the right support, resources and coping tools, individuals can find relief and regain control. You are not alone—and help is available.
