ICD-Code F41.8: Other specified anxiety disorders
You have an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety is an unpleasant sensation of threat. An anxiety disorder is a mental illness. An anxiety disorder normally involves heightened feelings of anxiety. This leads to feelings of fear even if there is no external threat. Something that is only mildly threatening may also cause excessive fear. It can also involve constant and excessive worrying and excessive rumination. You may also be afraid of something bad happening to yourself or a loved one. Physical and mental influences can play a role.
