Anxiety 

Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. While stress and anxious feelings are a common response to a situation where we feel under pressure, they usually pass once the stressful situation has passed, or ‘stressor’ is removed.

Clinical anxiety is when these anxious feelings don't go away, when they are ongoing and happen without any particular reason or cause. It is a serious condition that makes it hard to cope with daily life. Everyone feels anxious from time to time, but for someone experiencing anxiety, these feelings are not easily controlled.

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in Australia. It is thought that on average one in four people will experience clinical anxiety at some stage in their life. With evidenced based clinical intervention people experiencing anxiety can learn to manage their symptoms more effectively.
