When anxiety gets out of hand it can interfere with your enjoyment of life
Anxiety is your body’s way of alerting you to danger.
Whilst the experience feels unpleasant, it can help you to cope with what’s happening and deal with it in a sensible manner.
However, when you start feeling anxious over normal situations or for no apparent reason, it can disrupt your life. This is more common in men than you think.
Studies have shown that untreated anxiety can lead to other complications for men including depression and heart problems.
