Anxiety is a growing epidemic in our fast-paced society. Situational anxiety is normal, and happens when you encounter a stressful emotional situation. Longer-term feelings of overwhelm or distress that hang about when life gets back to normal may be unhelpful. When this happens, a GP or mental health professional may diagnose an anxiety disorder.
There can be many causes for persistent feelings of anxiety, including
- Biochemical imbalance in the brain
- Genetic factors
- Diet
- Environmental stressors
