Understanding the Signs and When to Seek Help
We all feel anxious sometimes—but when does anxiety become more than just a passing worry?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress. It’s your body’s way of alerting you to potential danger. But when that feeling becomes chronic, overwhelming, or interferes with your ability to function day-to-day, it may be an anxiety disorder.
We explore the difference between occasional stress and clinical anxiety, the common types of anxiety (GAD, panic disorder, social anxiety), and how to tell when it’s time to seek help.
