Anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. It can manifest as physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, sweating, or trembling, and mental symptoms like excessive worrying, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating.

Anxiety becomes a disorder when it significantly disrupts daily life and functioning. Common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Treatment options typically involve therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these approaches.
