Iftekhar Mahmudul Shares His Journey of Living With Anxiety Disorder to Raise Awareness and Break Stigma

Bogura, Bangladesh - [23 Jan, 2026] - Iftekhar Mahmudul, a young student and emerging storyteller from Bangladesh, is courageously sharing his personal experience of living with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in an effort to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and encourage open conversations around mental health.

For years, anxiety quietly shaped Iftekhar's inner world-impacting his thoughts, emotions, sleep, and daily life in ways often invisible to others. Like many people living with anxiety disorders, he struggled in silence, navigating constant worry, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion while appearing "normal" on the outside.

"Anxiety is not just fear or nervousness," says Iftekhar. "It's a constant battle inside your mind. You question yourself, your future, and even your worth-every single day."

Rather than allowing anxiety to define or limit him, Iftekhar has chosen to transform his pain into purpose. By speaking openly about his condition, he hopes to normalize mental health discussions-especially in societies where such topics are often misunderstood or ignored.

Iftekhar is currently working toward sharing his story through creative and educational platforms, including documentary storytelling, to help others who feel alone in their struggles. His message is simple but powerful: having an anxiety disorder does not make someone weak-it makes them human.

Through honesty, vulnerability, and self-reflection, Iftekhar Mahmudul aims to inspire individuals living with anxiety to seek help, practice self-compassion, and believe that healing-though not linear-is possible.
