trial anxiety

Trial anxiety is the stress and nervousness someone feels before or during a court trial. It can arise from concerns about the outcome, fear of judgment, or uncertainty about the legal process. This anxiety may cause physical symptoms like increased heartbeat, sweating, or difficulty concentrating. It’s a natural response to a high-stakes situation involving one's reputation, freedom, or future. Managing trial anxiety often involves preparation, understanding the process, and sometimes seeking support or counseling to stay focused and calm throughout the proceedings.
