Anxiety Disorders

Feelings of anxiety are an expected part of life that can occur in a variety of contexts, such as when we’re dealing with a problem at work, preparing for a test, or grappling with an important decision. However, when people experience anxiety that lasts for an extended period or worsens over time, they may have an anxiety disorder. The symptoms of an anxiety disorder can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, schoolwork, and relationships. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobia-related disorders. Learn more about anxiety disorders.
