Overview

Anxiety is a psychological and physiological state characterized by feelings of fear, apprehension, worry, and uncertainty, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, sweating, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. While occasional anxiety is a normal response to stress, persistent and excessive anxiety can interfere significantly with daily life and is a feature of several recognized disorders. Management may combine psychological therapies, medication, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle approaches, depending on severity and underlying cause. Research published by this journal examines anxiety from multiple angles. Studies investigate treating anxiety with complementary approaches, the influence of anxiety, depression, personality, and family interaction on nursing students' psychological well-being and suicidal ideation, and the relationship between photobiomodulation and depression, anxiety, and cognition. Other work explores the role of cholecystokinin in fear and anxiety, the effect of bilateral alternating somatosensory stimulation on stress-related cortisol and anxiety in a controlled trial, the prevalence of anxiety and depression among maternal and neonatal healthcare staff, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and approaches to reducing death anxiety. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to anxiety, supporting readers seeking primary literature on its mechanisms, measurement, and treatment.
