Educational Need
It is estimated that approximately 40 million adults in the United States suffer from anxiety disorders, which translates to about 18% of the population.
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. Many people worry about things such as health, money, or family problems. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For people with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, schoolwork, and relationships. There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and various phobia-related disorders.
Objectives
- Differentiate between causes of anxiety.
- Learn treatment for anxiety disorders.
