Anxiety Disorders
A continuous state of anxiety is a marked feeling of apprehension, dread or uneasiness. People who suffer from extreme anxiety are miserable most of the time and their behavior becomes distorted and self-defeating. They have pervasive feelings of stress, insecurity, inferiority, unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life.
Though anxiety and fear are normal emotions, a problem exists when intense or persistent anxiety prevents people from doing what they want or need to do. When a person’s anxieties are out of control he or she simply cannot stop worrying.
