Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or fear that can be hard to control. Common causes include stress, life events, anxiety disorders, overactive thyroid, and caffeine. Seek care NOW if you experience panic with chest pain or thoughts of self-harm. Self-care basics include slow breathing, regular activity, and talking to someone you trust. Anxiety disorders and overactive thyroid are related conditions. If you have concerns about your health, consult a qualified health worker for advice.
