What is Anxiety.
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns and impacts over 19% of adults and 7% of children/teens in the United States.
Feeling anxious at certain times in life is normal and healthy. Our feelings inform us of many things and anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress.
Merriam-Webster defines anxious as “characterized by extreme uneasiness of mind or brooding fear about some contingency”.
When your anxious feelings are excessive and strong enough that they begin to interfere with your day to day life, you may benefit from some extra support.
