What is Anxiety?

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects how people think, feel, and behave. It can present as persistent worry, fear, or nervousness, often disproportionate to the situation. Anxiety can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, and wellbeing.

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:

  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Social Anxiety Disorder
  • Separation Anxiety Disorder
  • Panic Disorder
  • Specific Phobias

SIGNS OF ANXIETY IN CHILDREN

Anxiety in children can be expressed in different ways. Common signs may include:

  • Frequent worry or fear about school, family, or social situations
  • Avoidance of certain people, places, or events
  • Complaints of headaches, tummy aches, or other physical symptoms
  • Trouble sleeping, including difficulty falling or staying asleep
  • Restlessness, irritability, or excessive reassurance-seeking
  • Difficulty concentrating or appearing distracted
  • Emotional outbursts or withdrawal from usual activities

Since anxiety can mimic behaviour challenges or shyness, it’s vital to be assessed by professionals who understand mental health and related conditions.

SIGNS OF ANXIETY IN ADULTS

Anxiety in adults can affect both emotional and physical wellbeing. Common signs include:

  • Persistent worrying or feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks
  • Difficulty concentrating or racing thoughts
  • Avoidance of anxiety-provoking situations or decisions
  • Physical symptoms like muscle tension, fatigue, or nausea
  • Irritability, restlessness, or feeling “on edge”
  • Trouble sleeping or experiencing insomnia

Anxiety in adults can go unnoticed or be misattributed to personality traits or stress, making accurate assessment critical.
