Do You Know the Signs of an Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety disorders can affect anyone. Anxiety often comes
when people hold in their fears until they begin to feel
anxiety.
The signs of an anxiety disorder include:
- Endless checking or rechecking actions.
- A constant and unrealistic worry about everyday
occurrences and activities.
- Fear and anxiety that appear for no apparent reason.
Anxiety disorders include the following:
- Panic Disorder: a sudden, uncontrollable attack of terror
that can manifest itself with heart palpitations, dizziness,
shortness of breath, and an out of control or terribly
frightening feeling;
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder: excessive anxiety and
worry that last for at least six months accompanied by
other physical and behavioral problems;
- Social Phobia: a persistent fear of one or more situations
in which the person is exposed to possible scrutiny of
others;
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: repeated, intrusive and
unwanted thoughts that cause anxiety, often
accompanied by ritualized behavior that relieve this
anxiety;
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: caused when someone
experiences a severely distressing or traumatic event.
Recurring nightmares and/or flashbacks and unprovoked
anger are common symptoms.
By contacting a psychologist, those who suffer from an
anxiety disorder can take the first step on the road to
recovery. According to the National Institutes of Mental
Health, 90 percent of people with emotional illnesses will
improve or recover if they get treatment.
