Anxiety and stress are interrelated. Generally people with anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, tend to internalize conflicts that cause them to always be stressed out, which affects their thinking and behavior.

If you suffer from anxiety or stress then you know how it impacts upon your life. This is such a large topic.
