This disorder is diagnosed when a person demonstrates anxious feelings and constant worry over daily activities for a six month time frame. [1][2]

According to Goodman and Fuller, anxiety can be defined as a heightened emotional state of concern, worry, or apprehension. It can lead to physiologic arousal causing an increase in heart rate and sweat gland activity. [2]
