What Are the Different Kinds of Anxiety Disorders?

Panic Disorder - Repeated episodes of intense fear
that strike often and without warning.
Physical symptoms include chest pain,
heart palpitations,
shortness of breath,
dizziness,
abdominal distress,
feelings of unreality, and fear of dying.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Repeated, unwanted thoughts or
compulsive behaviors that seem
impossible to stop or control.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Persistent symptoms that occur
after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event
such as rape or other criminal assault, war, child abuse, natural or
human-caused disasters, or crashes. Nightmares, flashbacks,
numbing of emotions, depression, and feeling angry,
irritable or distracted and being easily startled are common.
Family members of victims can also develop this disorder.

Phobias - Two major types of phobias are social phobia
and specific phobia.
People with social phobia have an overwhelming
and disabling fear of scrutiny, embarrassment,
or humiliation in social situations, which leads to
avoidance of many potentially pleasurable and meaningful activities.
People with specific phobia experience extreme, disabling,
and irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger;
the fear leads to avoidance of objects or situations
and can cause people to limit their lives unnecessarily.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder - Constant, exaggerated worrisome thoughts
and tension about everyday events and activities,
lasting at least six months. Almost always anticipating
the worst even though there is little reason to expect it;
accompanied by physical symptoms, such as fatigue, trembling, muscle tension, headache, or nausea.
