Everyone feels anxiety at times, but a person whose anxiety interferes with living a normal life may have an anxiety disorder, and it can be treated.
Anxiety is the most common mental health disorder in children. Learning healthy ways to calm down and handle fears is an important life skill.
For people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), symptoms associated with going through a terrifying experience last long after the traumatic event.
Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by intense fear cause by anticipation of or participation in social situations. People with social anxiety disorder may skip or limit participation in social events due to intense fear of being watched and/or judged by others.
