What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, fear, and alarm about what's to come. It’s the body's natural response to stress and pressure. Most people feel nervous and stressed under certain conditions for example the first day of school, going to a job interview, or a speech competition. That’s normal. But if these anxious feelings or severe stress last for a much longer time, such as more than six months, or if these feelings affect your day-to-day life, you may have an anxiety disorder.
