[:en]We all experience varying levels of anxiety? What constitutes a healthy, normal level?
Everyone gets jittery before a big event or gets anxious over the most trivial of things once every now and then. However, when does a somewhat cautious or nervous demeanour turn into full blown anxiety?
We live in a fast-paced world and every moment is filled with news of natural disasters and political unrest. You add your normal day to day routine stress and strain to all that, like construction work on your street or morning traffic and then you realize there’s a lot of unspoken anxiety within most people.
While anxiety can manifest in several ways, there is a difference between normal anxiety and anxiety disorder. If it interferes and disrupts your life then it is a problem. For many, anxiety is associated with muscle tension, trouble sleeping and over-worrying. However, there’s another type of anxiety which can lead to irrational fears or phobias. It can also be a result of faulty knowledge.
