The WHO describes fear and worry in anxiety disorders as intense, excessive and difficult to control, typically over at least several months. Possible symptoms include, for example, feeling irritable, tense or restless, trouble concentrating, heart palpitations, nausea or abdominal distress and trouble sleeping.
According to the WHO, only about 1 in 4 people with anxiety disorders receive treatment, among other reasons because of a lack of awareness that these are treatable conditions. Psychological interventions based on cognitive behavioural therapy have the most evidence.
