Frequently Asked Questions
-
Anxiety is the body's natural "fight or flight" response to a perceived threat. While it can be a normal and temporary reaction to stressful situations, it becomes a clinical anxiety disorder when the fear and worry are excessive, persistent, and interfere with daily life. It is not caused by a single factor, but rather a complex interplay of genetic, biological, environmental, and situational influences.

It is not possible to cure anxiety completely, but for most people, it can be successfully managed so that it doesn't interfere with daily life. Occasional feelings of anxiety are a normal part of life, but an anxiety disorder is chronic and tends to get worse if left untreated.
Normal anxiety vs. an anxiety disorder
Normal anxiety is a temporary, natural reaction to stress, fear, or a perceived threat. Once the stressful event passes, the anxiety fades.
An anxiety disorder is marked by persistent, excessive worrying that lingers long after a stressful event has ended. The symptoms can be severe and interfere with relationships, work, and other daily activities.
