Academic Anxiety

Academic anxiety refers to feelings of stress, worry, or fear related to school or academic performance. It can manifest as difficulty concentrating, procrastination, or physical symptoms like sweating and a racing heart. This anxiety may stem from high expectations, fear of failure, or pressure to perform well. While some level of concern can motivate effort, excessive anxiety can impair learning and performance, making it important to develop coping strategies and seek support when needed. Understanding and addressing academic anxiety can help students build confidence and improve their educational experience.
