Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural and adaptive response to life’s challenges, helping us prepare and respond to potential threats. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, or overwhelming, it can interfere with daily life and well-being. People with anxiety disorders often experience worry and fear that feel uncontrollable or disproportionate to the situation, leading to significant distress or impairment.

Whether it’s a child struggling with social anxiety or an adult facing chronic worry, effective treatment can help individuals regain control and improve their quality of life.
