Anxiety is a normal, if unpleasant, part of life, and it can affect us all in different ways and at different times. Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear that can be mild or severe. Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life. Anxiety is what we feel when we are worried, tense or afraid – particularly about things that are about to happen, or which we think could happen in the future. Anxiety is a natural human response when we perceive that we are under threat. It can be experienced through our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. Anxiety can become a mental health problem if it impacts on your ability to live your life as fully as you want to.
