What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal experience involving worry that something bad is going to happen. It is an emotion designed to protect us and help us prepare for the future.
Sometimes anxiety can feel overwhelming and in some cases anxiety, and associated behaviours can become clusters of symptoms needing professional advice and help. For instance persisting feelings of anxiety (generalised anxiety disorder), specific worries associated with compulsive behaviours (obsessive compulsive behaviours), and disproportionate fears about specific things (phobias).
