Anxiety is a common emotion. It can appear in many situations, such as public speaking, competitions, and job interviews. However, when frequent anxiety restricts a person’s life and activities, anxiety becomes a mental disorder. This thesis combines research and visual communication to highlight how the body expresses psychological distress. The project focuses on physical symptoms and treatments to both educate and raise awareness of anxiety disorder.
