It is a mental state in which patients are incapable of coping with future events.[1] Anxiety is a prevalent mental disorder, which in turn poses a challenge to the patient. In positive psychology, Anxiety is defined as a mental disorder triggered by a difficult situation for which the patient does not have vital coping skills.[2] Individuals' expectations and feelings towards certain situations tend to be unrealistic, illogical, and exaggerated. Patients deem these situations as unavoidable or uncontrollable.[3] There are many types of anxiety such as panic disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[4]
