What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a feeling that manifests both physical and psychological, in response to a situation of threat or stress, wether real or imagined.

Monitor your anxiety levels
It is crucial to seek help early to address anxiety, as it can worsen and lead to other complications, such as:
Agoraphobia
Intense fear or anxiety about being outside home alone.
It cans also manifest in enclosed or open spaces with crowds, such as public transportation, elevators, cinemas, or concerts.
Social anxiety
The person feels exposed to the evaluation of others, whether in social interactions or when feeling watched and judged. A fear arises of acting in a way that makes the anxiety evident, which can lead to being judged, embarrassed, and/or humiliated. For this reason, those who suffer from social anxiety often begin to isolate themselves from their surroundings and avoid social settings.
Panic attack
A sudden onset of intense fear or discomfort that escalates quickly. It often includes physical symptoms such as palpitations, muscle tension, difficulty breathing, and a feeling of suffocation. Psychologically, there may be sensations of unreality, fear of dying, or losing control.
Professional consultation
If you feel that your anxiety is affecting your quality of life or has reached concerning levels, it is time to consult a professional to receive the necessary support and improve your well-being.
