Description
Defining Anxiety
Anxiety is often referred to as the uneasy feeling of worry or concern that is developed when you are deeply tense about
something. Feeling a bit anxious when facing major life events is normal. However, if those concerning and worrying feelings
persist, even when everything is under control, and you end up becoming affected by the smallest of changes in life, then the
chances are likely that you have a serious anxiety condition.
Defining Stress
Stress is the natural feeling that arises from the pressures we experience in our day to day life. Stress signals are sent through
the brain when our body and mind are pushed to the limit. When the brain detects a sign of stress, it releases adrenaline into the
bloodstream. This release of adrenaline causes the body to feel stress, or weary and tired. The body reacts to this increase in
adrenaline, leading to the mind’s logical solution of resting. However, if your body refuses to stop, and the adrenaline remains
in your bloodstream, it can cause depression, as well as increasing your blood pressure, which can cause other negative
reactions in the body. Among these negative reactions is anxiety. Statistics from the National Institute of Mental Health has
indicated that more than 40 million American adults, about 18 percent of the adult population have one form of anxiety or
another. This makes anxiety disorders the most common of all mental illnesses in the United States.
