What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a state of unease or apprehension often accompanied by physical symptoms. Typically, the individual that suffers from anxiety will develop repeated bouts of worry and fear of an impending event or situation.
While fears and worries are common in the general population, these repeated episodes of intense worry are considered problematic when they begin to affect personal life and work performance. These episodes cause stress, which can add to other health problems; but if you learn how to manage your anxiety, there are many ways that you can be successful in dealing with this issue.
