What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a common mental health condition where excessive fear or worry becomes difficult to control. It may be triggered by stressful events or occur without a clear reason. There are different types of anxiety, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and social anxiety. While occasional anxiety is normal, persistent symptoms may require treatment.
