Anxiety Disorders

The Anxiety Disorders topic includes research on the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia (social anxiety disorder), and related phobias.

While most people experience worries and fears, those with anxiety disorders have persistent feelings of anxiety that may last for months or years. Symptoms may interfere with work, school, daily life, and relationships. Researchers have developed treatments and interventions for anxiety disorders.
