 Anxiety? Anixety is a common misspelling of anxiety.
 
There are a variety of anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and agoraphobia. While each anxiety disorder has its own distinct features, they are all bound together by the common theme of excessive, irrational fear and dread. Scientists are not quite sure why some people get anxiety disorders, but it could be at least in part due to genetics. Anxiety disorders run in families, so if a parent has an anxiety disorder, the children have a higher chance of developing one of these conditions.
