What is the medical definition of anxiety and stress?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many sources: Anxiety can come from chemical imbalances, a side effect of medications, external stressors, too much change in too short a period of time, and other areas. I would say go to a reputable psychotherapist immediately and talk about what anxiety means to YOU.
