Most of us know what it's like to feel anxious sometimes, but if it goes on too long, it can stop us living life to the full. The experience of anxiety is common in older people, but it isn't a normal part of ageing. Many people with anxiety never ask for help, yet there are treatments available and it can be managed.
This guide looks at what anxiety is, how you might feel, where you can get support and how you can help yourself or someone else.
The advice in this guide applies to England only. A lot of it will still be relevant to you, but we have a few suggestions if you are looking for advice that is specific to other parts of the UK.
