Anxiety and depression are very common mental health conditions that can significantly impact daily life, and they are also highly treatable. Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or fear and can present even when there is not a real threat or danger.  Increased heart rate, perspiration, changes in breathing, and restlessness are some of the ways our bodies react to feeling anxious.  Anxiety becomes problematic when it impacts one’s ability to function in their daily life.
