Anxiety Neuroses is a divergence of the mind characterized by distressing, unpleasant emotion that cannot be associated with any identifiable fear. It is a general feeling of apprehension about possible threat that is imagined and cannot be identified. Most neurotic behaviors accompanied by anxiety involve a number of avoidance behaviors such as not leaving the home or rationalizing that taking the stairs is more convenient than the mush feared elevator. Anxiety exists in the mind and causes neurotic behavior even though it cannot be pragmatically observed or measured.

In anxiety neuroses, one cannot specify clearly what the danger is. Anxiety seems to be experienced as an unpleasant state inner state in which one anticipates some dreadful thing happening that is not entirely predictable from the actual circumstances. This state is often known as anxious apprehension. This disorder is a complex blend of emotions and cognitions that are much more disperse than fear. At the cognitive level, it involves negative mood, worry about possible future threat or danger, self-preoccupation and a sense of being unable to predict the future threat or to control it if it occurs. Although, there are many threatening situations that provoke fear or anxiety unconditionally, many of our sources of fear and anxiety are learned.
