Anxiety - Related Research

Anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of worry, fear, or unease that can be mild or severe. It is often a response to stress or danger, but for some people, it can become chronic and occur without a clear trigger. Symptoms may include restlessness, rapid heart rate, excessive worry, and difficulty concentrating. When anxiety significantly interferes with daily functioning, it may be classified as an anxiety disorder.
