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.
