According to The American Psychological Association (APA), anxiety is an emotion whose chief characteristics include feelings of tension, worrisome thoughts, and physical symptoms such as high blood pressure.

It is a condition that could cause fear, recurring intrusive thoughts, apprehension, restlessness, and excessive nervousness. These feelings are usually disproportionate to the actual trigger.

A person suffering from deep anxiety might choose to avoid some situations because of worry. Also, they might display physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, trembling, sweating, dizziness and sleeplessness.

Different people experience anxiety in different ways. For some, it might be butterflies in your stomach or a racing heart kind of situation. But for others, they might feel out of control or a disconnect between body and mind. Anxiety symptoms could also include panic attacks, nightmares, or uncontrollable, painful memories.
