What Is Anxiety?

What is anxiety - Astute Living Care

Anxiety is a common emotional state experienced by individuals in response to stress or uncertainty, characterised by feelings of apprehension, worry, and nervousness. It’s a natural response that helps us cope with challenges but can interfere with daily life when it becomes excessive or overwhelming. 

It’s important to recognise that disorders like these are legitimate medical conditions, and seeking help is crucial. Understanding the triggers and learning coping mechanisms through therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes can greatly improve one’s quality of life. By acknowledging anxiety and taking proactive steps to manage it, individuals can regain control and find relief in their daily lives. 

How Do I Know If I Have Anxiety?

  • Feeling on edge
  • Experiencing racing thoughts
  • Finding it difficult to relax
  • Often, you feel a sense of dread or anticipate the worst

Physical symptoms like;

  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Sweating
  • Trembling can also accompany anxious feelings

Remember that it’s essential to consult with a mental health professional for a proper diagnosis.
