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

Anxiety disorders are characterized by feelings of worry, fear, or unease that can be so strong they interfere with daily life. People with anxiety disorders may have physical symptoms like a racing heart and shortness of breath, as well as psychological symptoms like feeling tense, irritable, and on edge. Common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, specific phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
