Anxiety is a natural response to stress, often characterized by feelings of fear or worry about future events or past experiences. While it’s normal to experience anxiety in challenging situations, for some, it becomes overwhelming and persistent — interfering with everyday life. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, nausea, and shortness of breath, which can make it even harder to cope.

What Are Anxiety Disorders? Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions marked by excessive worry, fear, and stress. These emotions can often prevent individuals from participating in everyday activities or cause them to avoid situations that trigger anxiety. The causes of anxiety disorders are varied and can include: •Genetics: Family history may increase the likelihood of developing anxiety. •Other mental health conditions: Anxiety can often coexist with depression or other mental health issues. •Stressful life events: Events such as trauma, loss, or major life changes can trigger anxiety. •Physical health problems: Illness or imbalances in the body can contribute to anxiety symptoms. In some cases, anxiety may arise without any clear cause, which can make it feel even more unpredictable and unsettling.
