What is Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety disorders encompass various types of mental health conditions that lead to excessive nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worry. These disorders alter how a person processes emotions and behave, also causing physical symptoms. Mild anxiety might be vague and unsettling, while severe anxiety may seriously affect day-to-day living. Types of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and social anxiety disorder, among others.

The exact cause of anxiety disorders isn’t fully understood, but they are likely caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, psychological, and developmental factors. Common risk factors include a history of mental health disorders, traumatic events, ongoing stress about finances, work, or personal relationships, and habits of avoidance of stress-inducing situations.
