Literature Review:
Anxiety disorders are a diverse group of maladaptive patterns in which anxiety is the most prominent feature. The anxiety may be general and pervasive or limited to certain situation; it may be relatively steady and enduring or come in brief, intense attacks; it may be independent of the individuals behavior, or it may be linked to specific action. (A textbook of Psychology- Revised edition Part 2 by Sheher Bano Gold Medalist) Anxiety is difficult to define fully and precisely. It refers to a complex set of events involving all of the dimensions of behavior, particularly the effective, motivational, cognitive, biological, and interpersonal dimension. Moreover, the pattern of anxiety may differ considerably from person to person and from time to time. (Bellack & Herson 1977)

Social anxiety disorder is defined as excessive fear in social situations in which the person believes he or she will do something embarrassing or have anxiety symptoms (e.g., blushing or sweating) that will be humiliating. The feared situations can vary from interpersonal social interactions in small groups to talking to strangers. Performance fears, such as speaking in public, also are common. (American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSMIV) (1994) In women with cardiovascular disease, depression and anxiety are inversely related to quality of life and associated with increased depression, sleep disturbance, and family stress. (Lynn V. Doering, Jo-Ann Eastwood: 8 APR 20) The researchers define stress in the workplace is the major problem for both Organizations and employees, and it has been estimated that approximately 13.4million working day is lost per year due to stress, depression or anxiety. (Health education journal 64(3) 2005 271-288) People who are obese may be more likely to become depressed because they experience themselves as in poor health and are dissatisfied with their appearance. This occurrence was particularly prevalent among women and those of high socio-economic status. People who are depressed may be more likely to become obese because of physiological changes in their hormone and immune systems that occur in depression. Also, they have more difficulty taking good care of themselves because of symptoms and consequences of depression, such as difficulty adhering to fitness regiments, overeating, and having negative thoughts.
