Introduction
Anxiety is a normal human emotion, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with daily life. The key is learning to manage it effectively before it takes control.

Signs You May Have an Anxiety Disorder

• Excessive worry that’s hard to control
• Restlessness or feeling “on edge”
• Trouble sleeping
• Physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, or trembling
• Avoiding situations out of fear or discomfort

Effective Management Strategies

• Mindfulness & Breathing Techniques – Calm your nervous system in moments of stress.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Reframe negative thinking patterns.

• Professional Support – Therapy, medication, or both when needed.
