Anxiety is a normal response to a perceived danger or threat to one’s well-being or self-esteem. Intense academic competition, fear of inadequacy regarding an academic challenge, or relationship discord may be some of the sources of the anxiety. Symptoms associated with anxiety include feeling on edge or keyed up, irritability, difficulty concentrating and fatigue. The student might appear to be confused, agitated, worry excessively, have difficulty making decisions and be too overwhelmed to take action. Students may suffer from a wide range of anxious conditions which can include panic attacks (feelings of losing control, rapid heartbeat, chest pain or discomfort, dizziness, sweating and trembling) which can lead to the fear that one is dying. Some students may have a generalized anxiety, which can impact their ability to perform academically by affecting concentration, memory, the processing of information, the ability to recall information and the ability to comprehend.
