Anxiety is a complex condition that involves a combination of factors, including genetic, environmental, and neurological influences. It's crucial to understand that anxiety is not a choice or character flaw, because I felt people used to judge me like it was a character flaw within me when I did have those panic attacks but I think what a lot of people don't realize it's a legitimate condition that requires empathy, support, and appropriate treatment.
