Understanding anxiety

When Worry Won't Switch Off

Feeling anxious now and then is normal. It becomes a concern when worry is constant, hard to control, and starts getting in the way of study, work, sleep or relationships.

  • It's common

    Anxiety affects people of every age and background.

  • It's not a weakness

    It's a health concern, not a personal failing.

  • Support helps

    The right support can make everyday life feel lighter.
