title: Practice question.
abstract: Anxiety is the 'unpleasant emotion associated with a sense of impending danger that is not obvious to an observer' ( Marks 2001 ). Feeling anxious from time to time is a normal human experience. When someone is anxious they might experience feelings of tension, nervousness, heightened awareness, fear or uncertainty, dry mouth and throat, and tightness in the chest. They might appear 'edgy', irritable and tearful or be unable to relax.
