Ask people to describe anxiety and they'll start with the familiar physical symptoms: racing heart, sweaty palms, difficulty breathing. Anxiety, they might add, is "freaking out, " a panic attack, a frightening loss of control. But anxiety isn't always what we think it is, especially now.

Patterns like global thinking, inner isolation, and busyness.
