Types of Anxiety Disorder Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Panic Disorder Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorder)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder This is characterized by excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry. People with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder tend to always expect disaster and can't stop worrying about health, money, family, work, or school.
Panic Disorder This is characterized by recurrent unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear that may include palpitations, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, numbness, or a feeling that something really bad is going to happen.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) This is primarily characterized by the presence of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are defined as repetitive, persistent thoughts, images, or urges. These thoughts are not enjoyable or voluntary and do not represent a person’s actual desires.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) A mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorder) This is characterized by fear of embarrassment associated with performance or exposure to evaluation by others.
