anxiety-post

Anxiety is a word we use to describe feelings of unease, worry and fear. It incorporates both the emotions and the physical sensations we might experience when we are worried or nervous about something. Although we usually find it unpleasant, anxiety is related to the ‘fight or flight’ response – our normal biological reaction to feeling threatened. Like all other animals, human beings have evolved ways to help us protect ourselves from dangerous, life-threatening situations.
