ANXIETY is a common feeling that everyone experiences at some stage. It can be a normal emotional response to many stressful situations, and it is something that many people may feel at this time of great uncertainly and worry. As the pandemic continues, and there remains no sign of an end to the lockdown, it is an increasingly common condition among the population.

It is important to know also that anxiety is a natural, understandable emotional response that can help us prepare for challenges. These could be sitting an examination, going for a job interview or even worrying about a potentially awkward social occasion.
