What Is Anxiety?
8. Complications
Although the symptoms of anxiety can be bad enough, it can also lead to even worse complications. One of these is substance abuse, which can create a vicious cycle because substance abuse can worsen the symptoms of anxiety. Substance abuse can also result in other dangerous health issues.
Other complications of anxiety include isolation and difficulties performing at work, and socially. The condition can also lead to depression, which is potentially very dangerous in itself. Many people with anxiety will suffer from a poor quality of life overall, and some will end up taking their own lives as a result.
