Anxiety Disorder

It's normal to feel anxious sometimes. It's how we respond to feeling threatened, under pressure or stressed: for example if we have an exam, job interview or doctor's appointment. Anxiety isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can spur us on, help us stay alert, make us aware of risks and motivate us to solve problems. However, anxiety can be a problem if it's affecting your ability to live your life. If your anxiety is ongoing, intense, hard to control or out of proportion to your situation, it can be the sign of a mental health problem
