Anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion. However, when a person regularly feels disproportionate levels of anxiety, it might become chronic, and in such cases it could be referred to as an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders form a category of mental health diagnoses, and encompass a range of disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Symptoms can include feelings of nervousness, tension, and worry, as well as physical symptoms such as increased heart rate and sweating. These symptoms can interfere with a person's daily activities and quality of life.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common anxiety disorder that involves constant and chronic worrying, nervousness, and tension. These feelings are present more days than not and have been present for at least six months. People with GAD may worry excessively about money, health, family, work, or other issues, and may find it difficult to control or reduce their worrying. Physical symptoms such as fatigue, muscle tension or twitching, or difficulty sleeping can also occur.

It's important to seek professional help if you are experiencing symptoms of an anxiety disorder, as left untreated, anxiety disorders can severely impair a person's ability to function in daily life.
