Anticipatory anxiety is a type of fear that occurs when an anticipated future event causes distress, arising in advance of the event itself rather than as a reaction to it while it is happening. The degree of distress it produces affects different people differently, ranging from mild unease to significant impairment in the period leading up to the anticipated event.
