Overview

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by persistent, excessive fear, worry, or apprehension that is out of proportion to actual circumstances and that interferes with daily functioning. They are among the most common psychiatric conditions worldwide and include generalized anxiety disorder, marked by chronic and widespread worry; panic disorder, involving recurrent and unexpected panic attacks; social anxiety disorder, centred on intense fear of social or performance situations; specific phobias; and related conditions. Symptoms can be both psychological, such as restlessness and difficulty concentrating, and physical, including a racing heart, sweating, and muscle tension. Treatment commonly combines psychotherapy, particularly cognitive behavioural approaches, with medication and lifestyle measures. As a public health journal, this page frames anxiety disorders within their broad population health and clinical context. Related peer-reviewed work indexed here includes a study exploring postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and the experiences of clinicians and parents in a northern community, a review of the role of cholecystokinin in fear and anxiety, an evaluation of treating anxiety with Reiki, and research on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together these open-access articles reflect the clinical, biological, and public health dimensions of anxiety, consistent with the journal's wide scope.
