Anxiety disorders

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive fear, worry, or anxiety that can interfere with daily activities and overall well-being. While some level of anxiety is normal and even beneficial (e.g., in response to stress or danger), anxiety disorders involve chronic, overwhelming, and disproportionate anxiety that affects a person's ability to function.

Key Types of Anxiety Disorders:

Anxiety disorders encompass several distinct conditions, each with unique features. The major types include:
