Anxiety Q & A

What is anxiety?

Anxiety often causes feelings of nervousness, fear, or unease, usually in relation to situations that have unknown outcomes. These feelings are normal and usually resolve once the situation passes.

But if you have an anxiety disorder, the feelings of nervousness, fear, or unease don’t go away. Instead, they often worsen and affect your daily life, including school, work, and relationships.

What are the types of anxiety disorders?

There are many types of anxiety disorders that may have various triggers.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

With GAD, you may worry excessively about everyday things like work, your health, or interacting with others.

Panic disorder

People with panic disorder have frequent, unexpected panic attacks. During a panic attack, you feel intense fear or terror that causes shortness of breath, chest pain, and feelings of impending doom that last a few minutes.

If you have a panic disorder, you may constantly worry about when you’re going to have your next panic attack and alter your activities to avoid situations that trigger an attack.

Social anxiety disorder

With social anxiety disorder, you may avoid social situations due to fear of embarrassment or excessive worry about how others will view you.

Phobias

A phobia is an intense fear or avoidance of specific things or situations. Fear of heights and spiders are types of phobias. People with agoraphobia may fear open spaces, enclosed spaces, crowds, or public transportation.
