Everyone can feel anxious sometimes, but people with anxiety disorders often experience fear and worry that is both intense and excessive. Prolonged anxiety disorders may interfere with daily activities and can impair a person’s family, social and school or working life. Post Covid pandemic, younger age groups of individuals, especially adolescents ages 12-17, report experiencing symptoms of anxiety in the past two weeks with female adolescents being twice as likely to feel so.
Bringing to us the word in season from 1 Peter 5:6-10, Ps Edric shares how we can deal with prolonged anxiety that overwhelms us to the point where we act out of character.
