I chose this topic because I felt a personal connection to it. In the past I have had experience with both anxiety attacks and panic attacks and I wanted to know more about each subject and how they affect children so if ever I needed to, I could help someone. Something I found particularly interesting was that anxiety disorders are extremely treatable yet very few people actually get treated for them. It's upsetting to know that so many people are willing to suffer with a disorder rather than  change or fix it.  Even if it's not affecting their everyday lives, it is still something that they have to wonder, "will it happen today?" The idea that so many people could control their fears but don't know how was saddening but interesting.

What are anxiety disorders?
Anxiety disorders are a phycological condition that cause excessive fear and worry about subjects outside of its victims control. Unlike typical fears and worries, anxiety orders often interfere with a persons day to day schedule actually making it herder for them to go about their day.
