Anxiety is a natural response to stress or uncertainty, but when it becomes persistent or overwhelming, it can begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, work, and overall well-being. You may find yourself constantly worrying, feeling on edge, or struggling to relax, even when there is no immediate threat.

While everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, ongoing anxiety can affect both the mind and body. It may show up as racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, muscle tension, restlessness, or a sense of dread that is difficult to control. Recognizing these signs is often the first step toward understanding what you're experiencing and finding meaningful support.
