chronic anxiety
Lingering unease disorder
Chronic anxiety is persistent, long-term anxiety that extends beyond normal worry about specific situations.
Unlike temporary nervousness before an exam or interview, chronic anxiety lingers without clear cause or remains disproportionate to actual circumstances: Her chronic anxiety made even routine decisions feel overwhelming.
The condition often manifests physically—racing heart, muscle tension, sleep disturbances—and may require professional treatment.
