What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a part of normal life. Most people will tend to worry a little about how things might turn out.
Anxiety produce exactly the right response to a difficult situation. It can motivate a person to prepare for an exam, to complete an essay or a painting or to deliver a speech, and it can give them the inspiration to produce high qualitywork and perform well.
Nervousness in anticipation of a situation is normal, but if you have an anxiety disorder, exaggerated anxiety can impede your performance. People with anxiety disorders may be unable to find ways of coping with or reducing their feelings of anxiety.
Anxiety disorders are a group of very common and serious disorders that affect behaviour, thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. They include a number of apparently very different conditions. Some of the anxiety disorders which doctors know about are generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Anxiety disorders often have an underlying biological cause, and frequently run in families. Experts believe that most anxiety disorders are caused by a combination of biological and environmental factors, in the same way as medical disorders such as heart disease or diabetes.
