5 Common Types of Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by chronic anxiety, exaggerated worry and muscle tension, which may occur whether or not you are provoked.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD can occur after exposure to a terrifying event in which harm occurred or was threatened. Life traumas involving assaults, human caused disasters, and military combats are some examples of things that may lead to PTSD.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by unwanted, reoccurring thoughts. Repetitive actions like perpetual hand washing, counting, cleaning, and other rituals can be temporary coping mechanisms for OCD.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety Disorder occurs in social settings when a person becomes self consciousness in every day situations, group settings, on stage, or while eating and drinking around others.
Panic Disorders
Panic disorders are an increased form of anxiety that may lead to rapid heartbeats, dry mouth, disorientation, shaking, chills, sweating, and loss of control. A panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror brought on by major life stressors.
