Anxiety is a natural response to stress or danger. It prepares the body to react to threats by triggering the "fight or flight" response. This reaction can be helpful in short bursts, such as before a big presentation or during a challenging situation. However, anxiety becomes a problem when it is excessive, persistent, or occurs without a clear cause.
