Question 1
Anxiety is considered as the most important disorder that tends to affect the mental state
tremendously. It tends to affect both physically as well as psychologically, and it is to be noted
that it is very much distressing. However, it is to be noted that having anxiety for a long time
tends to enhance the danger of physical illness and other types of mental health conditions like
that of the depression. 1The anxiety in an individual can also lead the individual to suffer from
sudden attacks of panic, obsessive-compulsive disorder. The individuals who tend to suffer from
some form of anxiety also tend to suffer from disorders like post-traumatic stress. It also leads an
individual to have fear or worry about the events that is about to take place in the future. It
makes the individual have a fast rate of the heart as well as from shakiness. However, it is to be
noted that an individual who is suffering from some form of anxiety also tends to feel very much
nervous or tense; they tend to go through a feeling of restlessness. Various studies that have been
conducted indicate the fact that anxiety in an individual often leads the individual to suffer from
some form of fatigue as well. It is because of the constant anxiety in the mind of the individual,
the individual fails to put his or her full concentration over a particular work that he or she is
doing. Anxiety also disturbs the sleep pattern of the individual. It may also lead the individual to
suffer from insomnia.2 Anxiety in an individual also makes an individual have suicidal thoughts
as well. People going through some form of anxiety problems often worry a lot. They often fail
to control their worries as well. Anxiety in the individual also makes the individual feel restless
