Not necessarily, but hopefully with staying calm you will grow out of what issues you are experiencing
Yes, it is very common, note the following epidemiological data: An estimated 19.1% of U.S. adults had any anxiety disorder in the past year. Past year prevalence of any anxiety disorder was higher for females (23.4%) than for males (14.3%). An estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder at some time in their lives.
Yes.
Anxiety is very common. Life is quite stressful in the US, and stress leads to anxiety.Maturing as an adult enables a person to gradually manage stress better and not allow it to develop into anxiety.
Yes indeed. However, to make sure it is what you have, you need to be evaluated to determine if it is born out of gene loading or environmentally triggered. Such an evaluation will address the proper mode of treatment needs which is necessary to alliviate or lessen the devastating influence on your daily activities. Anxiety can be treated with the help of medications and psychotherapy provided by a trained and seasoned Psychiatrist. Help is available. Do not delay your wellness, seek help...
