Anxiety (also called angst or worry ) is a psychological and physiological state characterized by somatic , emotional , cognitive , and behavioral components. [2] It is the displeasing feeling of fear and concern. [3] The root meaning of the word anxiety is ' to vex or trouble '; in either presence or absence of psychological stress, anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, and dread. [4] It is also associated with feelings of restlessness, fatigue, concentration problems, and muscle tension. However, anxiety should not be confused with fear, which is more of a dreaded feeling about something which appears intimidating and can overcome an individual. [5] Anxiety is considered to be a normal reaction to a stressor . It may help an individual to deal with a demanding situation by prompting them to cope with it. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming, it may fall under the classification of an anxiety disorder . [6] Anxiety can be confused with fear. However, fear is concrete, a real danger, whereas anxiety is the paranoia of something out there that seems menacing but it may not be menacing, and indeed may not even be out there. [7]

Anxiety is a physiological state characterized by cognitive , somatic , emotional , and behavioral components (Seligman, Walker & Rosenhan, 2001). These components combine to create the feelings that we typically recognize as fear , apprehension , or worry . Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations , nausea , chest pain , shortness of breath , stomach aches , or headache . The cognitive component entails expectation of a diffuse and certain danger. Somatically the body prepares the organism to deal with threat (known as an emergency reaction): blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, bloodflow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation . Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of dread or panic and physically causes nausea, and chills. Behaviorally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviors may arise directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety and often maladaptive, being most extreme in anxiety disorders . However, anxiety is not always pathological or maladaptive: it is a common emotion along with fear, anger, sadness, and happiness, and it has a very important function in relation to survival.
