Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of fear, apprehension and nervousness, but chances are you already knew that. Everyone has to cope with the occasional, invariably unpleasant and vexing, run in with anxiety. In stressful situations, it is a normal reaction that causes alertness, tension and often an elevated pulse, which is intended to stimulate your body’s natural fight or flight response. However, if excessive or all-consuming, it can interfere with your ability to perform day to day tasks. Follow writer Kalea Eggertsen as she explores what it means to have an anxiety disorder, the most prevalent form of mental illness.

For years, U.S. officials and lawmakers have issued warnings about the potential threat that the massively popular social media app, TikTok, could pose to national security, particularly regarding its ties to China through its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The app clashes with U.S. security interests in two ways: First, since Chinese organizations are required to comply with intelligence gathering per the country’s national security laws, the Chinese government could use it to spy on American citizens. Second, the concern was raised that by manipulating its content, the Chinese government could also subtly influence the app’s 170 million American users to further its agenda. These accusations led to a bipartisan majority in Congress moving to enact a nation-wide TikTok ban to be implemented on Jan. 19, 2025. Despite the Supreme Court ruling on Jan. 17, 2025 that the ban does not violate the first amendment rights of TikTok or its users, the subject remains a hot topic for the American public.
