| It is quite normal to become anxious when faced with a situation which is worrying or frightening, such as a job interview or exam. Some people are naturally relaxed and others are naturally more anxious. Anxiety only becomes a problem if it is happening more frequently than the person can cope with in their daily life. The symptoms of frequent and severe anxiety could mean the person is suffering from generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). About 1 in 20 adults in the UK suffer from GAD and it is most common in people in their 20s. |
