What Are Anxiety Disorders?
For some individuals, anxiety extends beyond these particular events, becoming a persistent presence in their lives. Their experience of worry and anxiety is more constant, frequently manifesting even in the absence of a specific trigger. This persistent state of anxiety can sometimes impede their day-to-day activities.
Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterised by excessive and persistent feelings of fear, worry, and apprehension.
People with anxiety disorders often experience these feelings to such an extent that they interfere with their daily lives and functioning.
