Feedback:
Anxiety disorder can range from mild to severe and results in a highly uncomfortable feeling in which the client can experience physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, chest tightness, and elevated blood pressure. Chest pain is always evaluated first to rule out a cardiac cause. Lethargy, flat affect, and confusion are not associated with anxiety disorders.
