Anxiety is a common mental health experience that can affect thoughts, emotions, physical wellbeing and behaviour. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, ongoing or overwhelming anxiety can begin to interfere with daily functioning and quality of life.
Anxiety may present differently for each person. Some individuals experience excessive worry or overthinking, while others may experience panic, avoidance, physical symptoms or emotional distress.
With appropriate support, many individuals learn effective ways to manage anxiety and build confidence in everyday life.
