Anxiety is a normal human emotion but if it becomes so strong that it interferes with your normal day-to-day life, it is considered to be an anxiety disorder. Approximately 1 in 4 people in New Zealand will be affected by an anxiety disorder at some stage in their lives and at any one time, 15% of the population will be affected.

‍

Anxiety disorders range from generalised anxiety disorder through to panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias and social anxiety disorder, and at times it feels like the disorder controls you.
