What is Anxiety?

Anxiety refers to a natural human response to stress or a perceived threat. It’s a normal part of life and can be helpful in certain situations, as it prepares the body to respond to a challenge or danger.

However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, or uncontrollable, it can interfere with daily life and well-being, leading to what is known as an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive worry, fear, or nervousness. These disorders can manifest in various ways and may include specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and others. At Arizona for Neurofeedback, we offer drug free anxiety treatment in Scottsdale, AZ.
