The term anxiety has been used for decades to refer to thoughts and behaviors that were distressful in nature. But before they referred to these as “anxiety disorders,” they were called “neuroses” – nervousness that wasn’t based in fact. Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events.
