Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Behavioral Medicine: A Guide for Clinical Practice, 4e AB - Anxiety is a common, normal emotion; most people experience occasional trepidation, fear, nervousness, “jitters,” or even panic. Mild anxiety may aid mental sharpness as uncertainty or pressure mounts. For some individuals, however, anxiety occurs as part of an anxiety disorder that is a prominent, persistent, and disruptive aspect of their daily lives. Among the general population in the United States, about 25% will experience an anxiety disorder at some time in their life, making anxiety more common than depressive disorders. At over $50 billion per year, the direct and indirect annual costs associated with anxiety disorders in the United States are similar to, and may even surpass, the economic burdens attributed to mood disorders.
