Understanding Anxiety: Signs, Symptoms & When to Seek Help

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health experiences. While occasional worry is normal, anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive fear that interferes with daily life. Common types include generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, and phobias. Physical symptoms can include a racing heart, shortness of breath, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping. If anxiety is affecting your relationships, work, or enjoyment of life, professional support can make a real difference.
