Anxiety
People with anxiety disorders experience intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. These disorders often involve sudden episodes of intense anxiety or panic attacks, which can feel uncontrollable. The anxiety is usually disproportionate to the actual danger and can last a long time. Symptoms often begin in childhood or adolescence and continue into adulthood. Common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and separation anxiety disorder.
