Anxiety disorder: Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, or uneasiness. It is usually a normal emotion. However, if a person experiences repeated anxiety episodes that worsen over time or interfere with daily activities, then the condition is called anxiety disorder. Fear can arise due to anxiety and emotional response to an immediate threat related to more staying to fight or leaving to escape danger. Fear before getting ready for the surgery is also a part of short-term anxiety. Anxiety disorders can affect an individual’s job performance, schoolwork, and personal relationships.
