Chapter One: Understanding Anxiety and Stress

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural human response to stress or perceived threats. It is a complex and multifaceted emotion characterized by feelings of worry, fear, unease, or apprehension.

While it is normal to experience occasional anxiety in certain situations, such as before a test or public speaking, excessive and persistent anxiety that interferes with daily life may indicate an anxiety disorder.

It's important to note that anxiety is a common mental health condition affecting people of all ages and backgrounds.

In the context of teenage girls, hormonal changes during adolescence can contribute to an increased vulnerability to anxiety. Social pressures, academic expectations, body image concerns, and navigating relationships can also contribute to heightened anxiety levels during this developmental stage.
