What is Anxiety Disorder?

Anxiety disorder is a broad term encompassing conditions characterized by excessive worry, fear, or nervousness. From generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to panic disorder and social anxiety disorder (SAD), these conditions can significantly disrupt daily life.

Understanding Phobias

Phobias are specific anxiety disorders characterized by an intense and irrational fear of particular objects, situations, or activities. These fears can lead to avoidance behaviors and impact a person’s ability to function normally.

Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders and Phobias

Symptoms of anxiety disorders and phobias can include persistent worry, racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, avoidance behaviors, and panic attacks. These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration but often interfere with daily activities and relationships.
