What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a general term for several disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension and worrying. Anxiety affect how we feel and act. It can manifest real physical symptoms.

These feelings are easily justified and considered normal. Anxiety is considered a problem when symptoms interfere with a person’s ability to sleep or otherwise function.
