What is the Difference Between Stress and Anxiety?

Stress is a natural, short-term response to pressures like deadlines or major life events. Anxiety, on the other hand, can persist even after the stressful moment has passed. It often brings physical symptoms such as muscle tension, racing thoughts, and restlessness.

If you frequently feel “on edge” or struggle to relax even when things are calm, anxiety therapy can help you understand the underlying causes and develop tools to manage it.
