Anxiety

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is the feeling that we experience when there is an anticipation in the form of worry, uncertainty or fear that we interpret as dangerous or threatening and that is accompanied by intense responses in our body, which makes it impossible for us to perform properly in our daily lives. The problem arises when it continues for a long period of time and causes great discomfort in your life or interferes negatively with your routine and relationships.

Nowadays many people suffer from anxiety and don’t know it, so it is very important to detect it early and do something about it. There are many effective treatments for people to learn to manage anxiety and reduce those symptoms that cause suffering and interfere with their quality of life.
