Anxiety is experienced as an excessive reaction to stress or in anticipation of future stressors. It typically includes physiological changes (e.g., elevated heart rate, muscle tension, and sleep problems), emotional components of fear, and mental components (e.g., "what-ifs” statements, dread, and constant worry). Anxiety can have crippling effects on quality of life and day-to-day functioning.
