Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is defined as nervousness, apprehension and self-doubt that may or may not be associated with real-life stressors. Everyone experiences some level of anxiety periodically but when feelings of dread and worry are unfocused, overwhelming, recurring and not directly linked to stressful events, anxiety can leave a person severely impaired.
Symptoms include being obtrusive, obsessive, having worried thoughts, confusion and difficulty concentrating, pacing or restlessness, irritability, frustration and despair.
