Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in the UK. Although everyone is bound to feel anxiety at some point in their lives, diagnosable anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear.
The National Institute of Mental Health expresses that for people with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. Symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, schoolwork, and relationships.
