Anxiety is a natural response to stress, often characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease. It is the body's way of preparing to face challenges or potential threats. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, or overwhelming, it can interfere with daily life and well-being.

Common symptoms include restlessness, rapid heartbeat, difficulty concentrating, and physical tension. Anxiety can arise from various factors, including stress, past experiences, and biological or environmental triggers. While it's normal to experience occasional anxiety, chronic anxiety may be a sign of an anxiety disorder, which may require professional support to manage.

To learn more about your anxiety and how it may be affecting you, consider completing our anxiety assessment. This can help provide insights and guide next steps toward managing your well-being.
