Anxiety

We’ve all experienced anxiousness at some point in our lives—before an important exam, before a first date, or before a presentation. The symptoms may include raising heartbeat, rapid breathing, restlessness, and feeling panicky and tense. These are normal reactions to stressful events.

However, when it is prolonged or when it interferes with your daily lives. You may have anxiety disorder. The symptoms include but are not limited to obsessive thoughts, persistent worries, debilitating phobias or panic attacks. It may affect the quality of your sleep, relationship, work and so on.
