Medical professionals may not know the exact cause of anxiety disorders.

Worries have always been part and parcel of our everyday life due to different factors inherent in the environment in which we live. Different people are affected by worries that are so distinctive and dissimilar that some may only be temporarily affected, however leaving some permanently disturbed. The stigma of constant worrying in the lives of these people can itself developed into a medical condition known as anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorder, being a kind of mental disorder can be disturbing and if ignored or left untreated, can potentially lead to physical and psychological complications. The disorder arises when the person anticipates disaster or impending danger, the body and its organs such as lungs, hearts and other parts will react faster due to production of adrenaline and hormone that provoke an increased level of stress and tension.

This in turn can trigger abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, tightness and pain in the chest region, shortness of breath, dizziness, frequent urination and even difficulty swallowing. These are just the physical effects that anxiety disorders produce.

In addition to the physical conditions, anxiety disorder is diagnosed when the people become overwhelmingly irritated, anxious or unable to focus and perform the daily routine works. They may find difficulty in keeping the reality in check and become excessively self conscious with various issues and worry about them for days or weeks even before a dreaded situation arises or happens.

Besides the anxiety symptoms you may experience emotional symptoms too. You will feel a constant feeling of unease that has nothing to do with your present situation. You might experience anxiety due to being involved in a stressful situation like pressure at work or a relationship. Then your anxiety symptoms may rear their heads due to being anxious about an illness, real or imagined. Then there is always your bodys reaction to perceived dangerous threats. All of these emotional stresses can and will increase your anxiety symptoms dramatically.

When you first experience anxiety your doctor must be able to diagnose your complaint. The doctor has to be able to decide if your symptoms are a medical condition or if they are a mental problem. Once you have been identified as having an anxiety disorder, treatment to cure or control your condition may be begun.

The symptoms stated above may be considered as anxiety symptoms if they are of a prolonged or severe state or if the feelings of anxiety come into existence when there is nothing dangerous or stressful to bring them about. Then if these anxiety symptoms start to interfere with your everyday life and activities like work or social events then you know for certain that you are suffering from anxiety disorder.
