Everyone feels nervous at times. In fact, anxiety serves a purpose in life. It is protective in dangerous situations where “fight or flight” may be necessary, enhancing senses and increasing response time. Clinical anxiety is not just “feeling stressed”. Anxiety disorders can be physically and mentally harmful creating a cascade of physical and chemical reactions in the body that can be damaging to mental and physical well being. People with clinical anxiety may have problems with work or school performance, relationship problems, or difficulty going into social or public situations.
