Anxiety is an emotion characterized by strong feelings of tension, worry, and physical changes such as increased blood pressure and heart rate. People with anxiety disorders often experience constant, intrusive thoughts or concerns that are difficult to control.
Anxiety disorders come in many forms, from generalized anxiety to more specific conditions such as social anxiety or panic disorder. Anxiety develops from several compounding factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.
