A generalized feeling of apprehension about possible danger. At the subjective level, the individual may feel a negative mood and worry about possible future danger, which he/she is unable to predict or control.

​

There is also a physiological component involved in anxiety, including a chronic over-arousal, which readies the person for dealing with the threat or danger if it should occur. The person then attempts to avoid situations where the threat or danger might be encountered.

​

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including phobias, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive- compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
