Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders

Almost 20% of American adults have some form of anxiety. The majority do not seek treatment, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Anxiety disorders are characterized by persistent worry and intrusive negative thoughts, even in the absence of a realistic threat. People may overthink or catastrophize situations.

Types of Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are divided into several unique types. Each affects the sufferer in a different way and may require specific treatment. Getting a correct diagnosis can help you target the treatment more specifically.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

For those with generalized anxiety disorder, anxiety may seem to seep into every part of their lives. Whether they feel anxious after talking about a big project at work or before going out on a date, no matter what they do, it may feel like their brain second-guesses their decisions.

Generalized anxiety disorder has symptoms that are similar to panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other types of anxiety, but they’re all different conditions.

Panic Disorder

Those who deal with panic disorder experience sudden, unexpected bursts of panic, accompanied by pounding heart and trouble breathing. Their flight or fight response is triggered, and they feel like they must get out of a situation they are in. This can make things like flying, driving long distances, or sitting in a classroom extremely difficult.

Panic disorder may feel like it comes out of nowhere, or there may be clear links to triggers that cause panic attacks.

Social Anxiety

Interacting with others becomes especially difficult for those with social anxiety. They often feel judged when speaking or too shy to start a conversation. These feelings may result in severe physical symptoms like dry mouth and sweating, which in turn makes the interaction feel even more difficult.

Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is technically a fear of large, open spaces. However, it is most frequently characterized by difficulty leaving what feels like the safety of the home. Getting treatment for agoraphobia becomes increasingly difficult for sufferers as they are unable to go to a therapy appointment.
