Abstract
Anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental health issues that children and adults alike suffer from. Anxiety can be defined as a normal emotion. It is your brain's way of reacting to stress and alerting you of potential danger ahead. On the other hand, anxiety disorder is the constant fear or worry that hinders the health and behavior of an individual. This chapter will focus on understanding what anxiety disorder is in terms of causes, symptoms, and treatment in an African context. The discourse will focus on how anxiety disorder impacts school children in terms of performance, classroom behavior, and classroom intervention strategies.
