Understanding Anxiety Disorders
What is Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions and involve excessive fear, nervousness, worry, or apprehension that becomes difficult to control. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, persistent symptoms that interfere with daily functioning may indicate an anxiety disorder.
