2. Physical symptoms: Anxiety can cause physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, fatigue, headaches, and muscle tension.

3. Avoidance behavior: People with anxiety may avoid certain situations, activities, or people that trigger their anxiety. This can limit their ability to function normally and enjoy life.

4. Sleep disturbances: Anxiety can cause difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to feelings of fatigue and irritability during the day.
