Is It Anxiety or Stress?

Anxiety is a normal part of life. It’s a biological reaction: the body’s way of telling us something isn’t right. It keeps us from harm’s way and prepares us to act quickly in the face of danger.

The symptoms of anxiety and stress are driven by the same chemical reaction. Here is the difference. Stress is a normal response to a threatening situation. Anxiety is caused largely by worry that is out of proportion to the situation.

If your anxiety becomes overwhelming and persistent, or interferes with your regular daily activities—or makes them impossible, you may have an anxiety disorder. This condition is “progressive,” which means it gets worse unless you do something. Medication and treating the symptoms just mask the real issues—and the pain remains.
