Overview
Anxiety involves persistent worry or fear that can affect daily life. It is common and treatable, and support is available.
How exercise relates
- Regular physical activity is included in many general wellbeing recommendations.
- Exercise is a complement to, not a replacement for, professional mental health care.
General guidance
- Predictable routines, including regular activity and sleep, can be supportive.
- Start with what feels manageable rather than an ambitious program.
When to see a doctor
- If anxiety interferes with work, relationships, or daily activities
- If you experience panic attacks
- If you have thoughts of harming yourself — seek immediate support from a crisis line or emergency services
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
