Anxiety disorder is a term used for the description of various mental health conditions correlative with anxiety (New England College, 2018). Anxiety disorders are under classifications of panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Panic disorder is a condition characterized by the occurrence of panic attacks, with its symptoms mostly developing at early adulthood stages, with its nature of occurrence including unfounded feelings of danger, sweating, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, and chest pains. GAD is a condition commonly known for developing at a gradual pace throughout one’s life, with higher prevalence being within the childhood-middle age stage.
