What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a mental health disorder that causes people to feel excessive worry or fear about situations that are not usually dangerous or stressful. While it is normal to feel anxious from time to time, anxiety disorders involve persistent and excessive worrying that interferes with daily activities.
