Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are more than just normal, occasional worry or stress. They are a group of mental health conditions characterized by persistent, excessive fear or apprehension that significantly interferes with daily life, work, relationships, and social activities.
These intense feelings can be overwhelming and difficult to control, leading to a range of distressing physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms.
Common Types of Anxiety Disorders:
Lenape Wellness Center provides expert care for various anxiety disorders, each with its unique presentation:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Characterized by chronic, excessive worry about everyday events or activities, even when there’s little or no reason to worry. Individuals with GAD often anticipate disaster and may be overly concerned about money, health, family, or work.
- Panic Disorder: Involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks, which are sudden periods of intense fear that can trigger severe physical reactions. Symptoms during a panic attack may include a pounding heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, feelings of unreality, or a fear of losing control or dying.
- Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia): Marked by an intense, persistent fear of social situations due to worries about being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated. This fear can lead to avoidance of social interactions, which in turn can impact relationships and career opportunities.
- Specific Phobias: Involve an intense, irrational fear of a particular object or situation, such as flying, heights, animals, or injections. Exposure to the feared object or situation leads to immediate anxiety and avoidance.
Common symptoms across these disorders can include restlessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and various physical complaints. The constant presence of anxiety can significantly diminish quality of life, making it challenging to engage fully in daily activities.
