Types of Anxiety Disorders and Symptoms

People with anxiety disorders experience anxiety and fear beyond the normal anxiety associated with stressful events such as public speaking or awkward social situations. If not treated, these disorders can grow worse over time. Each distressful experience may create a negative association which is remembered the next time a trigger occurs and tends to make the next experience even more stressful, leading to a feeling of helplessness and a vicious cycle of worsening symptoms.

Panic disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Social phobia/social anxiety disorder
Specific phobias
Generalized anxiety disorder
Depression. Individuals with an anxiety disorder may also experience depression

Approach

A counselor can help you—

Identify and change the thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, stress, or depression
Examine relationships that may be contributing to your anxiety
Learn new relaxation techniques such as guided imagery and deep-breathing
To help you overcome a phobia, the counselor may use gradual, progressive exposure to anxiety-producing situations or objects to desensitize you to the stressor and lessen the probability of an anxiety attack

Benefits

More happiness and joy in life
More ability to behave normally
More freedom to do the things you want to do
