What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a psychiatric condition that causes people to experience persistent fear, panic, worry or unease. Often, the worry that you feel isn’t proportionate to the actual threat or danger of the situation.
Without treatment, your anxiety symptoms can get worse and can have a negative impact on lots of different areas of your life, including your general health and wellbeing, and your ability to function in your day-to-day life.

Causes of anxiety

- Genes – having a close family member, such as a parent or a sibling, who struggles with anxiety, may make it more likely that you will go on to develop anxiety too
- Experiencing trauma or instability – this can reduce your ability to manage stress effectively, which can lead to you getting anxious
- Physical or mental health problems – if you already struggle with physical health conditions and or other psychiatric problems, this can make anxiety worse
- Other environmental factors – other stressful things going on in your life, such as bereavement, divorce, unemployment or financial difficulties, can also lead to you developing anxiety
