What Wikipedia says

Anguish (from the Latin angustia "distress") is "extreme unhappiness caused by physical or mental suffering". The feeling of anguish is typically preceded by a tragedy or event that has a profound meaning to the being in question. Anguish can be felt physically or mentally (often referred to as emotional distress).
