What is an Anxiety Disorder?
In simple terms, anxiety is a natural and adaptive response to stress or danger. It’s that fluttery feeling in your stomach before a big presentation or the heightened awareness when faced with a challenging situation. When worry is constant, severe, and disrupts daily activities, it could be a sign of an anxiety problem.
An anxiety disorder goes beyond typical worries or nerves, affecting thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It’s important to note that experiencing occasional anxiety is normal, but when anxiety becomes overwhelming and persistent, it might be time to seek support.

Anxiety disorders manifest in various ways, and recognizing the signs is crucial for early intervention. Here are common indicators:
