In this video, clinical psychologist Zehra Kamal introduces anxiety disorders by defining anxiety as a normal response to stress. However, when anxiety becomes excessive and impairs daily functioning, it may develop into an anxiety disorder. Ms. Kamal explains that individuals with anxiety disorders have heightened sensitivity in brain receptors, leading to physical symptoms like rapid breathing, sweating, and panic attacks. She also notes how anxiety can impact thoughts and amplify certain personality traits. Treatment options, including therapy and medication, are tailored to individual needs.
