Anxiety disorders
A manageable level of anxiety is a normal part of life for most people. For some, however, anxiety that causes severe distress and even physiological symptoms can effect their quality of life and ability to function. Anxiety Disorders are amongst the most commonly reported mental health problems in the UK.
Anxiety, worry and fear are feelings that everyone experiences from time to time. Over short periods of time they can be useful emotions, helping us to respond to challenging or dangerous situations. However, some people experience anxiety, worry, fear and panic at a greater level than is normal considering the threats around them. They may feel excessively anxious in certain situations, such as when they are with other people, or generally anxious a great deal of the time.
