My doctor says I'm suffering from an anxiety disorder. What is this disorder?

Anxiety disorders are characterized by feelings of worry, fear and unease that can be overwhelming and interfere with daily life. Common symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, sleep disturbance, and intrusive thoughts about the future or past. People who suffer from these disorders may also experience panic attacks, which are intense periods of fear and discomfort that can cause physical symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and nausea. Treatment for anxiety disorders typically includes medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
