| Anxiety can be
experienced at different levels, and although most people
experience a relatively mild form of anxiety when facing particularly
stressful situations (such as a speech or presentation) anxiety
disorders are severe and can disrupt the day-to-day life of
an individual. Anxiety can be brought on by a fear of something
that happened, or what we think happened and dread happening
again.
When individuals suffer from an anxiety disorder
it may lead to avoidance of certain situations because they
fear their anxiety may be triggered. This can in turn lead
to relationship and/or career problems such as not being able
to achieve potential job opportunities or promotions and being
unable to develop personal relationships.
