👉 A disquietude is a state of disturbance or unease that arises in response to something unexpected, unsettling or alarming. It can range from minor discomforts like a sudden cold or a headache to more significant worries about one's health, relationships, or personal well-being. Disquietudes can be physical, emotional, or mental, and they often occur when we are not prepared for an event that is unexpectedly challenging or uncertain.
