Understanding Anxiety: When Worry Becomes Overwhelming

Feeling anxious before an exam is normal. But when worry interferes with sleep, concentration, or relationships, it may point to an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, panic attacks, or even physical symptoms like stomach aches.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques like grounding and breathing can calm the nervous system.

With the right tools and support, anxiety can be managed—and peace of mind is possible.
