Anxiety is a natural response to stress and can manifest as feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear about upcoming events or uncertainties. It becomes a problem when it is persistent, excessive, and interferes with daily life. Anxiety can affect people in various ways including physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and digestive issues. It can also impact mental health by causing difficulty concentrating, irrational fears, and racing thoughts. Socially, anxiety can lead to avoidance of certain situations or people, leading to isolation and loneliness. In general, anxiety can greatly disrupt a person's quality of life, affecting their relationships, work, and overall well-being. It is important for individuals experiencing anxiety to seek help and support from mental health professionals to learn coping strategies and manage their symptoms effectively.
