Anxiety Symptoms & Treatments

Anxiety is a normal part of life. Everyone experiences anxiety over a presentation, test, or work-related problems. However, when that anxiety does not fade, worsens over time and affects your daily life in a negative way then it may be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are known as Panic disorders.
