Anxiety
Anxiety is a physiological or psychological state that can affect behavior, emotions, and cognitive processes. It is simply defined as a: 'Feeling of concern or fear that brings uneasiness, displeasure, or stress to a person'. It is considered to be a normal reaction when facing a stressful situation, and can be a motivator for a person to learn to cope with that situation better. However, when it becomes overwhelming and starts to be uncontrollable, it is now classified as an anxiety disorder.
