Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are the most common group of mental disorders. Anxiety is often your body’s reaction to stress. Feelings of nervousness or anxiousness are normal, and everyone will experience them in their lifetime. However, anxiety disorders often create an excessive amount of worry and fear that can result in physical symptoms and can interfere with one’s daily activities. Yet, there are medications, psychotherapies, and nonpharmacological treatments available for anxiety disorders that are extremely effective and can help you lead a healthy, normal, and productive life.
