Anxiety is a normal response to stressful situations. A certain amount of anxiety
is essential for performing at our best. It is only when we have too much anxiety
that it interferes with functioning. The anxiety expresses itself through emotions, physical symptoms, thoughts, and behaviors.
If your student is experiencing levels of anxiety that is causing significant distress
or is interfering with functioning, encourage your student to seek help from the Counseling
Center. Our services are free to UCM students. Call 660-543-4060 or visit our website
at www.ucmo.edu/cc for more information.
