Abstract
1.
1. The features of normal anxiety, fear and rituals are reviewed. These can occur in isolation, or in conjunction with other phenomena.
2.
2. When they are severe and dominate the clinical picture they can form distinctive disorders like anxiety states, phobic and obsessive-compulsive disorders, and depression.
3.
3. Management depends upon the clinical picture. Exposure is the treatment of choice for phobias and compulsive rituals, while antidepressant drugs are useful in the presence of depressive mood.
