Summer anxiety

By Laura Carrera

Summer is here, a time for vacations and rest; however, in the midst of a supposedly quieter season, many of our young men and women experience anxiety, why?

The beginning of the vacations not only marks the end of a school year, for many students it represents the end of high school and the moment when they begin to discover if their college entrance exam was successful or not.

This life change, the uncertainty it generates and the worry about whether they will be admitted to college causes great anxiety.

Anxiety is the body's response to stress and is a natural reaction that we have all experienced at some point when there are significant changes in our lives that generate great uncertainty.
