  1. What is Anxiety? Anxiety is a feeling of apprehension, anxiousness, or worry that typically occurs without a genuine threat. It differs from fear, which is the body’s natural response to immediate danger. Anxiety is part of the body's natural reaction to stress, so it can be helpful at times, making you more alert and ready for action. Anxiety disorders and regular feelings of anxiousness are two different things. Many of us get anxious when faced with particular situations we find stressful. However, if said feelings don't subside, the anxiety could be more chronic. When feelings of fear or nervousness become excessive, difficult to control or interfere with daily life, an anxiety disorder may be present. Anxiety disorders are among the most common types of mental disorders in Canada, and 3 million Canadians aged 18 years or older reported that they had an anxiety disorder.

This might include psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or a combination of therapy and counselling. CBT aims to recognize and alter the maladaptive thought patterns that can precipitate an anxiety disorder and troublesome feelings, limit distorted thinking, and change the scale and intensity of reactions to stressors. This helps people manage how their body and mind react to specific triggers. Psychotherapy is another treatment that involves talking with a trained mental health professional and working to the root of an anxiety disorder.
