Anxiety is a common emotional response characterized by excessive worry, fear, or nervousness that can interfere with daily life. It often comes with physical symptoms such as a racing heart, sweating, trembling, or difficulty breathing. While it’s normal to feel anxious in stressful situations, chronic anxiety can be debilitating and lead to disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic attacks, or social anxiety. Anxiety can affect work, relationships, and overall well-being. Treatment options include therapy (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), medications, mindfulness techniques, and lifestyle changes, all of which can help individuals manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.
