Anxiety is an emotion that refers to concerns, worry, and/or fear about a situation. In clinical terms, anxiety refers to instances when a person experiences excessive fear or apprehension about a situation.1 “Fear is the emotional response to real or perceived imminent threat, whereas anxiety is anticipation of future threat.”2
Anxiety, within normal bounds, can be a “gift of wisdom.”3 It acts as a tool, or indicator, to communicate our internal perceptions about the external world. It can prompt us to reflect on or prepare for stressful but important occasions, such as an exam, a first date, or a competition. However, excessive anxiety can deeply affect our minds and bodies in negative ways. Modern life—and its associated challenges—is conducive to abnormal levels of anxiety. Our Western concepts of time management and our notion of productivity, the divisive rhetoric in the news media, and our fast-paced, high-stress work environments contribute to heightened baseline anxiety.
Separation anxiety disorder involves distressing levels of worry or fear when you are separated—or faced with the possibility of separation—from a particular person.
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder marked by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere.
People who experience generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) suffer from excessive, uncontrolled, and irrational worry about daily activities or situations.
Considered both a type of anxiety and a phobic disorder, agoraphobia is an extreme fear of certain situations or places.
