Anxiety

These are stressful times all the way around, and even though there is reason for hope and optimism, I find that a large proportion of my new clients suffer from anxiety. Here is a good resource for information about anxiety.

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.
