What is Anxiety

Anxiety can be defined as a collection of symptoms that disrupts a person’s normal course of life. It negatively impacts the mood of the person experiencing the symptoms. Anxiety can be likened to having excessive amounts of energy surging throughout your body: too much and the person shuts down (think panic attacks, or generalized anxiety). Depending upon how long the symptoms are in place, and the level of disruption, it can be classified many ways. Essentially, it represents the space between where a person is now, and the future.
