An anxiety disorder is a psychiatric condition. In anxiety, people respond to situations or things with fear, terror, or panic. Unlike typical nervousness, anxiety disorders feature extreme fear or anxiety. Additionally, anxiety can cause physical symptoms like sweating and a rapid heartbeat. Statistically 30% of adults struggle with anxiety disorders.
Generally, anxiety disorders affect daily activities due to excessive worries about jobs, financial issues, and family issues. In addition to stress, people experience physical symptoms of lethargy or becoming easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, muscle tension, or sleeping problems.

These are several types of anxiety disorders, including:
· Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
· Panic disorder
· Phobias

Symptoms of GAD may include:
The sudden emergence of extreme fear, discomfort, or a sense of losing control is known as a panic attack. These attacks usually feature stronger, more powerful symptoms as compared to other anxiety disorders. People who suffer from panic disorder frequently experience unanticipated panic attacks. People with panic disorder try to prevent themselves by avoiding places, situations, or behaviors they connect with panic attacks. Repeated panic attacks, a severe combination of both physical and psychological discomfort, are the primary symptom of panic disorder.
Apart from that several of the following symptoms indicate an attack:

An individual with a SAD has excessive fear or anxiety about being separated from persons to whom they are attached. Although it’s common to assume that only kids experience separation anxiety, adults can also be diagnosed with the disorder.
A person with a SAD could worry about losing the person they love most all the time, hesitate to leave the house or refuse to spend the night apart from them, or even have nightmares about being separated.
Children with SAD may fear that their parents will not come back as promised. It happens a lot in preschoolers. Although physical signs of discomfort frequently appear in childhood, symptoms can persist throughout adulthood.
