What are anxiety disorders?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Anxiety Disorders
"Anxiety disorders involve persistent fearfulness or uncertainty that lasts at least six months and can worsen without treatment. They may occur alongside depression, substance abuse, or physical illness, and these conditions can mask or intensify anxiety symptoms. Treatment generally involves medication, specific forms of psychotherapy, or both after a careful diagnostic evaluation."
