What distinguishes anxiety disorders from ordinary anxiety?
Answer:
Generalized anxiety disorder, and other anxiety disorders, are difficult to define and there is no clear consensus among psychologists about how to define or diagnose them.
Most people would agree that some amount of anxiety is normal for people to experience.
When the anxiety becomes a major hindrance to a person's well-being, happiness, or ability to function in their daily life, such as in work or social activities, it is more likely to be classified as a disorder.
Generalized anxiety disorder, in particular, refers to chronic, pervasive anxiety, often experienced in multiple aspects of life and reflected in multiple ways. Generalized anxiety disorder is related to depression, and the two conditions often occur together.
