Anxiety & Stress

What Is Anxiety ?

Anxiety often involves excessive worry and fear about everyday situations, while stress can arise from feeling overwhelmed by daily demands.

Both can impact your emotional well-being, relationships and overall quality of life.

It's important to recognize the signs of anxiety and stress and understand that you're not alone. Many people face similar challenges, and seeking help from a mental health professional can make a world of difference.

Remember, managing anxiety and stress is a journey, and it's never too late to take the first step. Reach out for support and start working today toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Anxiety is a common mental health issue and can manifest in various forms, such as general anxiety, social anxiety, or panic disorders. It is characterized by excessive worry, nervousness, and fear about everyday situations, making it difficult for the affected individual to lead an everyday life. Anxiety disorders can severely impact a person's emotional well-being and performance at work or school.

Like stress, anxiety can trigger the body's "fight, flight, or freeze" response, an automatic reaction to perceived threats. This response can cause physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and muscle tension. While some anxiety is natural and can be helpful in certain situations, chronic anxiety can lead to severe physical and mental health complications.

Stress is natural; it's your body's response to any demand or threat. It is common and can motivate you to achieve things like daily targets.

Around one in four GP consultations in the UK are about mental health concerns, many of which involve feelings of stress.

People sometimes say, 'It makes me pay attention to something, or I turn it into an action plan that helps me prepare better'. However, too much stress can affect our mood, body, and relationships—especially when it feels out of our control. Stress and worry form the central components of depression and anxiety.

If you're struggling with anxiety or stress, it's essential to seek help from a professional who can guide you through understanding and managing these emotions. Take the first step towards a healthier, happier life by reaching out for support today.
