Anxiety is your body's natural response to stress. The stress can be internal, like an unsettling memory, or external, like a difficult exam. The amygdala is the part of the brain that is meant to keep you safe by recognizing and responding to danger. Sometimes the amygdala fuels your body when there's no real danger... and this builds up left you feeling anxious.

Anxiety can manifest in many ways. It affects our thoughts, feelings, bodily reactions, and behaviors, all of which affect each other.
