Anxiety is a complex and universal emotional experience. It can range from being a vital part of functioning in daily life to becoming pathologic and paralyzing. Generally, anxiety is a state of hyperarousal where emotions such as fear, panic, and distress are felt predominantly when thinking about the future. These emotions are not inherently bad, as they help us recognize and respond to potential harm or danger. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming or disproportionate to the actual stressors, it can hinder one’s ability to navigate life effectively.
