Anxiety is a psychological and physiological response to stress or perceived threats. It is a universal experience. Everybody has had anxiety from time to time and in different situations. There are usually two components of anxiety. There’s the tray of anxiety, which is the background level of anxiety, which can vary from individual to individual. So some people are naturally very anxious about many things, the rather cautious people, and some people are much less anxious, much laid back. Anxiety only becomes a problem if it is much more severe or frequent than a patient is used to or tolerant to. 

In other words, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, and interferes with daily life, it may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. According to WHO, as of 2019, there were 301 million individuals affected by panic anxiety disorder, which included 58 million children and adolescents.
