Abstract

Anxiety is a normal human emotion characterised by feelings of fear and tension or worried thoughts. Occasional is normal but if it starts to interfere with person's daily optimum functioning, it becomes a disorder. The exact cause of anxiety is not known, although the development of anxiety is attributed to a combination of genes, brain function, and environmental stress. This chapter defines the term “anxiety,” outlines the causes and risk factors, and identifies the characteristic features of anxiety. Strategies for managing anxiety and treatment options are also discussed.
