Abstract
A group of distinct psychiatric disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobia, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Whereas fear is an adaptive emotion that is seen in many animal species, anxiety disorders are characterized by anxiety that is excessive insofar as it leads to marked distress and impairment of functioning.
