Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their lives, especially during times of stress or change. However, for some people, anxiety can become a chronic problem that interferes with their daily lives.
There are many different types of anxiety disorders, each with its own set of symptoms. Some of the most common types of anxiety disorders include:
- Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): This is a long-term condition that causes excessive and uncontrollable worry about everyday things. People with GAD may feel restless, tense, or on edge most of the time. They may also have trouble sleeping, concentrating, or controlling their worry.
- Panic disorder: This is a condition that causes sudden, unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks are intense feelings of fear and anxiety that come on quickly and reach a peak within minutes. During a panic attack, people may experience physical symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea.
- Social anxiety disorder (SAD): This is a fear of social situations that causes intense anxiety and fear. People with SAD may worry about being judged or embarrassed in front of others. They may avoid social situations altogether or only attend them with great difficulty.
- Specific phobias: These are intense fears of specific objects or situations, such as spiders, heights, or flying. People with specific phobias may avoid the object or situation they fear at all costs.
