Understanding Different Types of Anxiety
Understanding Different Types of Depression
Anxiety isn’t just feeling nervous before a big event – it’s a complex condition that can manifest in various forms and impact every area of your life:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations, often accompanied by physical symptoms like muscle tension, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. This “what if” thinking can make daily life feel overwhelming.
Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks
Intense episodes of fear accompanied by physical symptoms like heart palpitations, sweating, and feeling like you can’t breathe. Panic attacks can feel life-threatening even when you’re physically safe.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Intense fear of social situations, judgment from others, or being embarrassed in public. This can impact relationships, career opportunities, and overall quality of life.
Specific Phobias
Overwhelming fear of specific objects, situations, or activities that pose little actual danger but create significant distress and avoidance behaviors.
