Stress and anxiety are a normal part of life. When anxiety is not too
severe it can be beneficial because it motivates you to prepare for a
situation. Without feeling somewhat nervous about an upcoming test or
giving a talk at your job you would not prepare and you would perform
less well. However, when the feelings of stress and anxiety become
overwhelming they can interfere with your ability to function and you
may be suffering from an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders can cause significant suffering and impairment and
can reduce a person's productivity at home or at work, may result in job
loss and can disrupt relationships with family and friends. Although
anxiety disorders are among the most common and treatable of disorders,
they are often not diagnosed, and proper treatment is not received.
