People with an anxiety disorder may have a number of physical symptoms, including shakiness, muscle aches, sweating, cold and clammy hands, dizziness, fatigue, racing heart and dry mouth. Emotionally they may feel irritable and apprehensive, fearing that bad things are about to happen to them, or that they are going to die. The feelings of terror and doom may appear without notice and tend to drive the individual into acting in ways that are out of the ordinary for them under normal circumstances.

Perhaps the most noticeable consequence of anxiety is the way it can leave its sufferers practically disabled. Imagine being too frightened to get into an elevator, to go to your office, or to attend parties. At its most debilitating, anxiety can keep sufferers trapped in their homes.

Anxiety can be broken down into several different types. Many times anxiety is perceived as a physical illness such as a heart problem and can be misdiagnosed. Anxiety is treatable with a combination of medication, psychotherapy and behavior modification.

Some symptoms of anxiety are:

Episodes of overwhelming fear, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, profuse sweating, trembling and shaking
Fear of loosing control, going crazy, or dying
Fear of being in a place where symptoms are observable
Avoiding certain situations because of symptoms
Worry about criticism
Avoid or become extremely nervous in social situations
Persistent feelings off apprehension, restlessness or irritability
Find it difficult to avoid worrying
Experience physical symptoms such as muscle spasms
Have problems falling or staying asleep
