1. What is anxiety and what causes it?

Anxiety is a natural stress response, but when it becomes persistent or overwhelming, it may develop into an anxiety disorder. It can be caused by genetics, brain chemistry, stressful life events, medical conditions, substance use, or environmental factors.

Anxiety symptoms may include rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, sweating, muscle tension, fatigue, restlessness, irritability, excessive worry, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience panic attacks or digestive discomfort.

Stress is usually temporary and linked to a specific situation, while anxiety tends to persist even without a clear trigger. If worry, fear, or physical symptoms interfere with daily life, sleep, or relationships, it may be anxiety.

Anxiety can affect multiple body systems, including:

  • Heart: rapid heartbeat and increased blood pressure
  • Lungs: shortness of breath or hyperventilation
  • Digestive system: nausea, bloating, or stomach pain
  • Muscles: tension, aches, and fatigue
