What Anxiety Disorder Do I Have? How Can Anxiety Therapy Help?
The most prominent and well-known form of anxiety is generalized anxiety disorder, which one experiences on a regular basis in response to different events and stimuli. There are other anxiety disorders, though, too. Consider:
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): This type of anxiety comes with recurrent, unwanted thoughts and behaviors. For example, washing hands excessively or locking the door several times.
- Social Anxiety Disorder: With social anxiety, an individual feels anxious and/or uncomfortable in social interactions. One might experience social anxiety in any and all social situations or more specific situations, like being the center of attention.
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: This type of anxiety can develop after an individual has witnessed a traumatic experience. One might develop physical symptoms like shortness of breath as well as more psychological symptoms like flashbacks.
