Are you constantly stressed about events that could happen in your immediate future? You might be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Depression and anxiety are some of the most common emotions that adults must deal with. Sometimes, these emotions become overwhelming – to such an extent that they turn into the development of a mental disorder. Fortunately, such disorders are treatable at a professional mental health hospital.
There are many pitfalls that adults should be aware of when going through rough times in life. Such times also include experiencing traumatic or life-changing events. Beethoven Recovery Centre offers professional psychiatric treatment for people who are 16 years of age and older and are struggling to overcome the daily challenges of living with such a disorder. In today’s article, we take a closer look at anxiety disorders.
Different Types of Anxiety Disorders
- Panic Disorder: This type of anxiety disorder involves an individual to experience recurring panic attacks – putting them through sudden and intense episodes that instil fear into the mind and results in a severe physical reaction. Physical symptoms can include increased heartbeat rates, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest aches and pains, uncontrollable sweating, and a feeling of something bad coming their way.
- Social Anxiety Disorder: Not to be mistaken as an introvert characteristic, as introverts always try to avoid social settings, but more to the point of having a deep fear of being criticised by peers or being humiliated or embarrassed. Such a fear can be so powerful that it drives an individual to a point where they – out of necessity – would always avoid any social interaction. As is the case with almost every anxiety disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder can have its own set of physical symptoms and cause the body and mind to react out of fear as opposed to clear and sober thoughts.
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder: This disorder is characterised by individuals experiencing consistent and chronic patterns of extensive worry about things that they do not have control over. These things also include everyday elements, such as driving home from work, picking up the groceries, or waiting for a delivery. These individuals worry and stress about situations for no direct or apparent reason, as they create scenarios in their heads that are not likely to occur. They can also experience various physical symptoms from putting so much worry and stress on their minds that these elements start to translate into physical ailments.
- Phobias: There are multitudes of specific phobias that people suffer from. This is a result of the current human condition – where we live in a comfortable home, with no need to hunt or gather, find or build shelter, or find a way to survive the cold winter months. This state allows the mind to develop fears for the most trivial things in life.
