Types of Anxiety Disorders

 

Anxiety manifests itself in various forms and can be triggered by a wide range of factors, often accompanied by feelings of fear and worry. There are several types of anxiety disorders including separation anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, hypochondriasis, and more. Our psychologists employ a variety of approaches in individual psychotherapy to support those with anxiety disorders. Common anxiety disorders include:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Characterized by consistent and excessive worry about daily situations, individuals with GAD may struggle to concentrate or sleep due to worry.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

Social Anxiety Disorder is based on an intense fear of social situations, which often leads to social avoidance. Individuals with social anxiety may feel anxious and uncomfortable in any social context, even if they know the people involved. Treatment for social anxiety may come in the form of exposure therapy, or with CBT and talk therapy.

Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is defined by recurrent panic attacks, which are sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort. During a panic attack, people often experience physical symptoms like rapid heart rate, sweating, and shortness of breath. Panic disorder is frequently combined with other forms of anxiety.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD is characterized by intrusive and distressing thoughts (obsessions), which drive people to compulsive behaviors in order to alleviate the anxiety caused by the thoughts. For instance, people with OCD may spend hours each day washing their hands or repeatedly checking that doors are locked.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop following exposure to a traumatic event, such as a car accident, sexual assault, or wartime combat. Individuals with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive memories of the event long after it has happened.

Phobias

A phobia is an irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity that leads a person to avoid the feared stimulus at all costs. Phobias can be broad (such as a fear of heights) or very specific (such as a fear of spiders).
