Anxiety is a natural response to stress or uncertainty, but when it becomes persistent, overwhelming, or interferes with daily life, it may be part of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions and can affect, thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being.
There are different types of anxiety disorders, each with its own patterns and challenges—including generalized anxiety disorders (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias. While each person’s experience is unique, these conditions often share features such as excessive worry, restlessness, physical tension, and avoidance.
The good news is that anxiety disorders are treatable. With the right support, individuals can better understand their symptoms, learn effective coping strategies, and make meaningful progress toward feeling more grounded and in control.
