In obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety occurs when a person engages in or does not continue to engage in a certain behavior, whereas in everyday life anxiety is very common and the person takes actions to relieve it.For example, if you are worried about failing a class, you will frantically review and prepare for the exam; if you are worried that your partner will break up, you will try your best to get it back.This anxiety is called physiological anxiety.

When the severity of anxiety is obviously inconsistent with the real situation, or when it lasts for too long, it becomes pathological anxiety, which is called anxiety symptoms. If it meets the relevant diagnostic criteria, it will be diagnosed as anxiety disorder (also known as anxiety disorder) .
