Anxiety Management Overview
Many people experience anxiety for various reasons such as change of lifestyle, career, job responsibilities, or even a change of location. Some experience it when they have problems in their relationships, be it either at personal or professional level. Divorce, separation, breakup, and even an argument with a colleague can lead to feelings of anxiety. Working people may also become anxious because they work too hard yet feel that they are unable to do all their tasks within the required period. Whatever may be the cause, it is important to remember that anxiety should be managed and controlled before it gets worse.
