Anxiety Disorders

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal response to a perceived threat. While it’s normal to be anxious at times, if your anxiousness interferes with everyday activities, you may have an anxiety disorder. People with anxiety can experience excessive levels of stress during everyday activities that can make it difficult to enjoy working, socializing, and even their free time.
