Anxiety Disorders and Treatment
Occasional temporary worry or fear is normal and an expected part of life. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be beneficial in some situations. It can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and pay attention. You might feel anxious when faced with a high stress level at work or before making an important decision in life.
But when the anxiety is excessive, overwhelming and or seems to worsen over time, it can interfere with daily activities such as relationships, school, and work performance.
Some examples of anxiety disorders include panic attacks, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
