Anxiety? by OfficialCribMD: 6:00pm On Feb 01, 2022
It is normal for everyone to worry and feel stressed when particular life situations demand it. Anxiety is a feeling of apprehension, a typical response by the body in anticipation of impending unfavourable conditions. 

Before writing an examination, going for an interview, making a presentation, running late to work, getting stuck in traffic or sky diving would make most people anxious, which is normal. Anxiety is in fact, a healthy emotion that is necessary for survival because it acts as an internal alarm to foreseeable problems.
