The subjective experience of anxiety frequently signals a person's unfulfilled attempts to manage recent environmental or internal challenges. The consequences of stress-related anxiety can be found in most of the body systems: cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal ailments, problems with the reproductive system, dermatologic disorders, and autoimmune disturbances--all have been shown to be greatly influenced by anxiety. In addition, studies of hostages and prisoners of war indicate that a person's reactions to extreme stress are predictive of his or her future physical and mental health. Thus, extreme stress-related anxiety must be identified and treated early to protect the patient from a lifetime of chronic illness.
焦虑的主观体验常常表明一个人在应对近期环境或内部挑战时未成功的尝试。与压力相关的焦虑后果可见于身体的大多数系统：心血管疾病、胃肠道疾病、生殖系统问题、皮肤病和自身免疫紊乱——所有这些都已被证明受到焦虑的极大影响。此外，对人质和战俘的研究表明，一个人对极端压力的反应可预测其未来的身心健康。因此，必须尽早识别和治疗与极端压力相关的焦虑，以保护患者免受终身慢性病的困扰。
