What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a common emotional state characterized by feelings of worry, fear, or apprehension. It manifests in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, or panic disorder. Individuals experiencing anxiety may encounter physical symptoms like increased heart rate, muscle tension, and difficulty concentrating.
