Anxiety? Anxiete is a common misspelling of anxiety.
In any given year, approximately 19.1 million American adults ages 18 to 54 (about 13.3 percent of people in this age group) have an anxiety disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, and agoraphobia are just some of the many types of anxiety disorders. Regardless of the type, the anxiety that a person feels is generally chronic, unremitting, and can grow progressively worse. Symptoms of anxiety can differ, based on the specific disorder a person has. However, all anxiety disorders are linked together by common symptoms that include excessive, irrational fear and dread.
