Editing Anxiety (section)

==Co-morbidity==
Anxiety disorders often occur with other mental health disorders, particularly [[major depressive disorder]], [[bipolar disorder]], [[eating disorder]]s, or certain [[personality disorder]]s. It also commonly occurs with personality traits such as neuroticism. This observed co-occurrence is partly due to genetic and environmental influences shared between these traits and anxiety.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Smoller JW, Andreassen OA, Edenberg HJ, Faraone SV, Glatt SJ, Kendler KS | title = Correction to: Psychiatric genetics and the structure of psychopathology | journal = Molecular Psychiatry | volume = 24 | issue = 3 | pages = 471 | date = March 2019 | pmid = 29540840 | doi = 10.1038/s41380-018-0026-4 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kendler KS |title=Major Depression and Generalised Anxiety Disorder |journal=FOCUS |date=July 2004 |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=416–425 |doi=10.1176/foc.2.3.416 }}</ref>

It is common for those with [[obsessive–compulsive disorder]] to experience anxiety. Anxiety is also commonly found in those who experience [[panic disorders]], [[phobic anxiety disorders]], severe [[Psychological stress|stress]], [[dissociative disorders]], [[somatoform disorders]], and some [[neurotic disorders]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Stein DJ, Fineberg NA, Bienvenu OJ, Denys D, Lochner C, Nestadt G, Leckman JF, Rauch SL, Phillips KA | title = Should OCD be classified as an anxiety disorder in DSM-V? | journal = Depression and Anxiety | volume = 27 | issue = 6 | pages = 495–506 | date = June 2010 | pmid = 20533366 | doi = 10.1002/da.20699 | s2cid = 17606388 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
Anxiety has also been linked to the experience of [[intrusive thought]]s. Studies have revealed that individuals who experience high levels of anxiety (also known as clinical anxiety) are highly vulnerable to the experience of intense intrusive thoughts or psychological disorders that are characterised by intrusive thoughts.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Omoregie J, Carson J |title=Reductive mechanisms for unwanted intrusive thoughts: exploring affectivity in clinical and non-clinical samples |journal=Mental Health and Social Inclusion |date=1 January 2022 |volume=27 |issue= |pages=51–65 |doi=10.1108/MHSI-06-2022-0040|s2cid=251511163 }}</ref>
