What Is Anxiety and Its Types? Anxiety is the body's natural response to stress — but when worry becomes constant, excessive, and hard to control, it may be an anxiety disorder. Example: Feeling nervous before an exam is normal. Feeling constantly on edge, unable to relax, even when nothing is wrong, may point to an anxiety disorder.
