Anxiety

Anxiety is an unpleasant state of inner turmoil, often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints and rumination.^[2] It is the subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over anticipated events, such as the feeling of imminent death.^[3] Anxiety is not the same as fear, which is a response to a real or perceived immediate threat;^[4] whereas anxiety is the expectation of future threat.^[4] Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, and uneasiness, usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as menacing.^[5] It is often accompanied by muscular tension,^[4] restlessness, fatigue, and problems in concentration. Anxiety can be appropriate, but when it is too much and continues too long, the individual may suffer from an anxiety disorder.^[4] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
