Anxiety
Feelings of worry, fear and anxiety are normal human feelings. Some level of anxiety can keep you alert and can help you to perform well. These feelings can become a problem when they are too strong or when they carry on for long even when we don’t need them anymore. They can make you uncomfortable, stop you from doing the things you want to – and can generally make life difficult.
When anxiety and panic go on for a while, it’s easy to start to feel depressed – you start to feel down, lose your appetite and see the future as bleak and hopeless. Anxiety seems to take three main forms, but they overlap and most people will probably experience more than one type. 1. GAD, 2.Panic Attack and 3.Phobia
