Anxiety
WHAT IS ANXIETY?
Anxiety, a common mental health issue in the U.S., is the body’s response to stressors. It helps us stay alert in challenging situations. However, those with an anxiety disorder may experience consistently high levels due to perceived threats, whether real or not.
Intense fears can center on current situations or potential future events.
Factors beyond our control, such as a global pandemic or prolonged lockdowns, can significantly escalate anxiety levels.
FROM HELPFUL TO DISORDER
Prolonged anxiety can have serious, long-lasting effects on both physical and emotional well-being. Physically, it can lead to issues like elevated blood pressure, memory loss, sleep problems, and a compromised immune system due to excessive cortisol release. Emotionally, it can cause feelings of dread, restlessness, and negative thought patterns. Early recognition is key to preventing further damage.
