ADVICE
Anxiety takes many forms – you probably have your own tormenting version – but it’s typically a feeling of extreme fear or worry, often paired with catastrophizing thoughts and physical symptoms.
When it is problematic, anxiety can become debilitating to your mental and physical health, contributing to a number of serious conditions, including burnout, cardiac disorders, gastrointestinal problems, hypertension, migraine headaches and dementia.
Environment plays a part, but so does your legacy. Anxiety runs in families: 30% to 50% of your anxiety is because of your genes.
