What is Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions defined by persistent fear or worry. They include
generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, each with
distinct symptoms and triggers.
People with anxiety disorders often experience both emotional and physical symptoms, such as
nervousness, restlessness, a racing heart, and sweating. These symptoms can significantly
impact daily life, making it difficult to manage work, relationships, and social activities.
Treatment usually involves cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought
patterns, along with medication to manage symptoms. Lifestyle changes, like stress
management and regular exercise, can also play a key role in managing anxiety disorders and
improving overall quality of life.
