How does anxiety affect the body and mind?

Anxiety can affect both the body and mind in several ways. Physically, it can lead to symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and muscle tension. These physical symptoms can persist and cause long-term health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and chronic pain. Mentally, anxiety can lead to racing thoughts, excessive worry, poor concentration, and difficulty sleeping. Anxiety can also lead to depression and other mental health issues. Left untreated, anxiety can negatively impact a person's quality of life, relationships, and job performance.
