What is Anxiety Disorder?

Anxiety disorders are serious medical illnesses that affect approximately 40 million American adults aged 16 years and older in a given year, causing them to be filled with overwhelming fearfulness and uncertainty.

People usually experience anxiety about events they cannot control or predict, or about events that seem threatening or dangerous. Sometimes people feel anxious without any known cause.

Unlike the relatively mild, brief anxiety caused by a stressful event such as an audition or performing in front of a live audience, anxiety disorders are chronic, relentless, and can grow progressively worse if not treated.
