{ RESOURCES: Eating Issues }

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps us to cope with tense situations at work, keep focused on imprtant tasks and allows us to recognize situations that might be troublesome. When anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, triggers panic and phobias, or causes obsessive and complusive behavior, it becomes disabling.
