Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive and irrational fears and worries. Common emotional symptoms include feeling tense, anticipating the worst, and feelings of apprehension. Physical symptoms arise from the body's fight or flight response and include a pounding heart, tremors, headaches, and fatigue.
