What term describes a feeling of worry, fear, or unease about future events, common in stressful situations?

A mood disorder

Anxiety

Anxiety is the feeling of worry, fear, or unease about what might happen in the future, especially in stressful situations. This is a normal response that helps you stay alert and ready to react to potential challenges. It describes the anticipatory nature of the emotion, rather than a mood change that lasts for a long time or a sleep issue. Mood disorders involve pervasive shifts in mood; depression centers on persistent sadness and loss of interest; insomnia is trouble with sleep. So the described feeling best matches anxiety.
