Understanding Anxiety
Feeling anxious occasionally is a typical human experience. It is common to experience anxiety when dealing with work-related problems, before taking an important test or making a significant decision.
However, when anxiety becomes excessive and starts to impede daily life, it may be considered an anxiety disorder. Common symptoms of anxiety include persistent worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and physical symptoms such as an increased heart rate.
If you find that anxiety is affecting your ability to function or enjoy life, we advise you to speak with one of our mental health professionals.

More about Anxiety:
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America:
Recent national data reveals that approximately 40 million Americans (18% of the population) experience an anxiety disorder annually.
Even more concerning is that approximately 8% of children and teenagers encounter anxiety disorders, often developing symptoms before the age of 21.
Despite the treatability of anxiety disorders, only a third of those affected receive the necessary treatment. We believe in changing this statistic and providing accessible support to those in need.
As highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO), anxiety disorders affect 1 in 13 individuals globally. They are among the most common mental health conditions worldwide.
Specific phobias, major depressive disorder, and social phobia rank as the most prevalent anxiety disorders.
We aim to ensure that individuals, both locally and globally, can access the support they require.
