Course Overview

Introduction to this course

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural and common feeling that everyone experiences from time to time. It's your body's way of reacting to stress or potential threats. In simple terms, it's that uneasy, nervous, or worried feeling you get when you're facing a challenging situation, like an exam, or a big life change. While a little anxiety can be helpful by keeping you alert and motivated, too much anxiety can be overwhelming and interfere with your daily life.
