The focus and form of the anxiety can vary tremendously, and thus there are a number of different anxiety disorders with which one can be diagnosed, depending on the specific focus of the anxiety and the specific symptoms experienced during the period. This entry reviews anxiety disorders in general, the specific anxiety disorders individually, and information on the etiology, assessment, and treatment of anxiety disorders.
