Anxiety is a very unpleasant, yet common experience. It is characterized by feelings of nervousness, apprehension, fear or worry. Some fears and worries are justified, such as worry about a quiz, a test, or other examination. This anxiety is transient and lacks prolonged intensity. Problem anxiety is continuous and intense; it will interfere with a person’s ability to sleep or otherwise function. Severe anxiety can have a significant impact on daily life.

Cognitive–behavioral therapy CBT, in conjunction with medication management is the preferred method of treatment for anxiety disorders.
