Anxiety
Anxiety and worry is excessive when it occurs more days than not, for at least six months, about a number of events or activities. The anxiety and worry are associated with three or more of the following symptoms:
Restlessness or feeling on edge, being easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating or mind going blank, irritability, muscle tension, sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless, unsatisfying sleep), social phobia, having a panic attack, numbness, heart palpitations, trembling, difficulty breathing, sweaty palms, headaches, etc.
Anxiety, worry or physical symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning. It causes you to be in a constant state of fear and worry, anticipating the worst, feeling restless all the time or having a constant nagging concern.
