What is Anxiety Disorder?

In an anxiety-related disorder, your fear or worry does not go away and can get worse over time. An anxiety disorder can influence your life to the extent that it can interfere with daily activities like school, work and/or relationships. Fear, stress, and anxiety are "normal feelings and experiences" but they are completely different than suffering from any of the seven diagnosable disorders plus substance-induced anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma- or stressor-related disorders. A therapist that specializes in anxiety can help you cope and deal with this.
