Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are a common occurrence.  In fact, according to Beyond Blue, one in four people are likely to suffer from an anxiety disorder at some stage of their lives.  An anxiety disorder is very different from stress.  Stress is regarded as a normal response to the stresses of life.  For example the stresses of having to meet deadlines at work, or manage a number of activities in daily life.  An anxiety disorder on the other hand is ongoing and frequent.  It can make it difficult to cope with day to day living.
