Symptom #10: Anxiety
Anxiety is an unpleasant emotion where there is inner turmoil. There can also be nervous behavior such as rumination, repeated pacing, and somatic complaints. The affected person often has feelings of dread regarding anticipated events (which have yet to occur). It should not be confused with fear, which is a response to immediate threat (while anxiety occurs with possible scenarios).
Anxiety is associated with excessive worrying, uneasiness, muscular tension, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. It is a symptom that can be seen in obsessive compulsive disorder, stress, and seasonal affective disorder.
