What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is described as a persistent feeling of fear, which can sometimes be misidentified as worry. While worry comes and goes, anxiety often feels like one is trapped in a hole with no way out, which can profoundly affect relationships, work, personal life and daily activities. Many who experience anxiety have thoughts and concerns about things that could happen in the near future.
When we feel threatened, our bodies release a hormone called norepinephrine, which activates our fight-or-flight response. The release of norepinephrine stimulates our sympathetic nervous system, causing a rise in blood pressure, disrupted sleep, a feeling of worry or dread, and a heightened state of alertness.
