Everybody has anxiety occasionally when faced with demanding circumstances like a significant test, a huge job interview, or a public speech. But when confronted with such commonplace experiences, people with anxiety disorders frequently feel overwhelming worry, uncertainty, and dread. A panic attack is characterized by abrupt, overwhelming sensations of severe dread and worry along with physical symptoms including palpitations, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, and more. Panic attacks can occur when anxiety reaches such extreme levels.
In America, anxiety disorders are the most prevalent type of mental illness. Anxiety affects 40 million adult Americans annually, or more than 18% of the population. Women are more likely than men to experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lifetime, making the illness more prevalent in them. A third of teenagers (aged 13 to 18) report experiencing anxiety, and the prevalence of this condition is growing. Additionally, compared to the general population, those with ADD/ADHD experience the disorder more frequently.

Anxiety can stem from a variety of factors, according to experts. According to research, biological factors (such as head injuries, hormonal imbalances, blood sugar issues, drug abuse, medication side effects, genetics, and more) as well as psychological (such as emotional trauma) and social factors (such as living in a society that fosters anxiety) are the root causes of anxiety (such as stress from work or home life).
