The answer is: When it becomes something called Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). GAD is characterized by persistent, excessive and unrealistic worry about everyday things. It affects 6.8 million adults, and women are twice as likely as men to have it. People who suffer from GAD expect the worst. They usually know theyre worrying way more than is necessary, but cant shake the feeling that something horrible is going to happen. To receive an official diagnosis of GAD, people must meet the following criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association: Excessive anxiety or worry about several events or activities most days of the week for at least six months Difficulty controlling your feelings of worry Anxiety or worry that causes you significant stress or interferes with your daily life Anxiety that isnt related to another mental health condition, such as panic attacks, substance abuse or post-traumatic stress disorder At least three of the following symptoms in adults and one of the following in children: restlessness, fatigue, trouble concentrating, irritability, muscle tension or sleep problems You should see your doctor if you have the above symptoms and if stress starts to interfere with your work, relationships or other parts of your life. Its especially important to seek professional help if you feel depressed, have trouble with drinking or drugs, have other mental health concerns along with anxiety or experience suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

Cairo Subway Attacks: Explosions Hit 4 Stations, Causing Widespread Panic Among Commuters
The blasts, which were caused by homemade explosive devices, took place at four different stations in central and northern Cairo, in the teeming neighborhoods of Ghamra and Shubra el-Khemia. Police quickly descended on the scene, sealing off stations and using sniffer dogs to search for more explosives, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks the first in the Egyptian capital since last month’s election of former army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi as the country’s new president. El-Sissi led the military’s ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi after millions demonstrated against him in the streets last July. Since Morsi’s ouster, his supporters have staged near-daily protests demanding his return to power. Such demonstrations have usually descended into violence. Security forces have killed hundreds and detained thousands of Morsi’s supporters and in return, Islamic militants have stepped up attacks against the military and police across Egypt. An al-Qaida-inspired group based in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, has claimed responsibility for most of the major attacks, including suicide bombings and attempted assassinations of top security officials.

Chaos, panic, disorder and Dr Tahirul Qadri – The Express Tribune Blog
Being a political party, under the regime of an elected government , whether they like it or not, the PAT has a responsibility towards the nation and the government. Acting out in such a manner demonstrated the height at which supporters of political groups are willing to go in order to achieve their objectives legal or not. Dr Qadri, being the leader, went on to tweet that, The Punjab police is stating they are stopping the innocent workers according to law, they are lying. #StateTerrorism Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri (@TahirulQadri) June 17, 2014 According to Dr Qadri, the officials in power are , Busy collecting the privileges and forgetting that they need to worry about countrys security and sovereignty. As true or false that statement may be, the irony is unmistakable. Political leaders have a strong influence over their followers and the fact that supporters were allowed to challenge the writ of the land in the way that they did is and should be unpardonable. Instead of handling the situation, Dr Qadri provoked them further. This protest was not worth the lives of those eight people.
