Anxiety is a common emotion caused by inner turmoil regarding something (usually an event) that has yet to happen, where the person pre-anticipates a non-desirable outcome (usually negative) before the event that has that outcome even starts. Most people will experience anxiety in their lifetime.
Anxiety can persist after the situation causing it has passed for a few hours. If the anxiety was severe enough and the cause of the anxiety hangs around long enough, this can lead to a panic attack, even a day after the cause of the anxiety has passed.
Anxiety can just be within an isolated event, or, if it is regular, it can manifest as an anxiety disorder, such as GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder)
