What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is thefeeling of unease, worrying, andapprehension. When we encounter a difficult situation, it is natural to feel uneasy. For example, imagine the case of a student who is about to face an examination. The results of this exam can have a huge impact on the future career avenues of the student. It is only to be expected that the student would feel anxious. Not only this, when facing an interview, when speaking in public, waiting for an important piece of news, we all feel anxious and worried. However, there are situations where anxiety becomes overwhelming and out of proportion to circumstances. This kind of anxiety is considered as an anxiety disorder. In such a situation, the anxiety is out of proportion to the actual danger.
According topsychologists, there are a number of anxiety disorders.Generalized anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder,obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorderare some such disorders. Phobias are also categorized under anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders have a range of symptoms, based on the specific disorder. Some of the common symptoms that can be seen are difficulty in sleeping, feelings of anxiety,fear, nausea, and muscle tension. But these can differ from one disorder to another. It has to be borne in mind that, unlike in the case of anxiety, anxiety disorders interfere significantly with the individual’s daily routine.
