Is anxiety a mental disease?

[Starmix]

Anxiety is not necessarily a mental disease in itself, but rather a symptom or a collection of symptoms that can be part of various mental health disorders. It is a common human experience, but when excessive or persistent, it can indicate an underlying condition requiring professional help. Diagnosing an anxiety disorder requires a professional evaluation. Treatment options include therapy and medication. Managing anxiety is possible with the right support.

Technically yes, it is, but more than a mental "illness" I would consider it a mental sensation because anxiety warns you that you are very excited about the events that will happen in the near future and you are very worried that everything will turn out correctly, that's why

An individual experiencing this excessively needs a professional support,he or she must also share his troubles to his family . Anxiety is something one must not ignored . It may become severe.

Anxiety in itself is not bad. It could be a survival mechanism. But when anxiety is borne out of feeling like a victim all the time, it becomes bad and can set you against people all the time.
