Anxiety is a normal response to threat or danger. At times it is helpful since it mobilises energy reserves for action, and the increased level of arousal involved can improve performance in a range of situations. Anxiety is unhelpful, or pathological when it is experienced intensely, frequently and persistently and interferes with a persons daily living.<\/p>\n
