About the source and review

Anxiety is a common experience. When fear or worry is persistent, intense and disrupts everyday life, professional assessment can help identify an anxiety disorder or another explanation.
Anxiety disorders take different forms; they are not all generalised anxiety disorder. They can affect people at any age.
