Anxiety is a natural feeling that everyone experiences from time to time. It helps us prepare for danger or uncertain situations and encourages us to be cautious. In a normal state, anxiety works like the mind’s “alarm system”: without it, people would feel defenseless, and psychological immunity would never develop.

There are different levels of anxiety: it can be mild and short-term, or prolonged and interfere with quality of life. Mild and short-lived anxiety is usually natural and does not require treatment. In such cases, it’s best not to rush into thinking, “I’m sick” or “I have a neurosis,” and run to the doctor immediately.

Sometimes simple methods can help:
drinking cold water;
going outside for fresh air;
eating ice cream or engaging in an enjoyable activity.

These can calm the body, normalize heart rate, and improve mood. However, if anxiety persists or worsens, it’s a good idea to consult a professional.
