What is anxiety?

Is your daily life interrupted or plagued by moments of panic or anxiety? Do you worry frequently about things beyond your control? Do you feel as if something awful may happen at any moment? Do you have repetitive intrusive thoughts that feel strange or bothersome? No matter how hard you try to block these thoughts they may reoccur… Are there behaviors you do repeatedly or ritualistically that take more of your time than you would like yet you continue to do them? Anxiety and panic disorders are very common and can be both exhausting and debilitating. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) 31.1% of U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. Anxiety disorders can affect sleep and dreams, relationships, and lead to avoidance behaviors.
