Anxiety and
nervousness:
Anxiety
(sometimes called stress or worry) is common to everyone, to one
degree or another. Anxiety is a state of apprehension or fear
about the possibility of something negative or undesirable
happening. At times a person cannot even determine exactly why
they are anxious or afraid. Avoidance of feared situations often
results from intense anxiety, which then can lead to restriction
of choices and experiences. There are several disorders which
include anxiety as a central feature, including: generalized
anxiety disorder, panic disorder with and without agoraphobia,
phobias, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and
post-traumatic stress disorder.
