Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety, Stress, Worry, Nervousness
No matter what word you use to describe the butterflies in your stomach we’ve all been there. In fact, in 2019 about 15 % of the adults in the United States reported experiencing anxiety. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can actually be beneficial in some situations. Example, individuals with healthy anxiety often do great in leadership roles. Why, because they are often skilled at being calculated. Being highly aware provides insight into multiple possibilities, allowing one to plan for the unexpected which can be great in a professional setting. But, what if the anxiety is over reaching and how can you tell if your anxiety is a problem?
