Anxiety Disorders Types
Anxiety affects everybody differently, but it is a real disease that can be treated. Treatment can include medication and therapy.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder
GAD patients struggle to control their anxiety. They are occupied with worries about money, health and family and have difficulty focusing attention or imagination. Their anxiety interferes with everyday activities and causes anxiety in the form of fatigue, discomfort, and irritability. They may seek reassurance or avoid situations where they might be disappointing others. Other symptoms include headaches, muscle tension and restlessness.

There are many ways to treat anxiety disorders, such as psychotherapy (talk therapy) medication, as well as lifestyle adjustments. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a kind of psychotherapy that is focused on teaching relaxation techniques and helps to reduce the distortion of thinking that leads to anxiety feelings. Antidepressants, benzodiazepines and buspirone can help relieve anxiety symptoms.

Educating yourself and your loved ones about the specific kind of anxiety disorder you suffer from will make treatment more effective.
The root cause of anxiety disorder isn't always obvious however, both genetics and life experiences can play a role. People who have a history of severe or prolonged stress, traumatic experiences in childhood, chronic medical illnesses and other mental health problems are more at risk of developing an anxiety disorder.
Panic Disorder

If these feelings last for months, or even longer, then you may have anxiety disorder. These disorders include generalized anxiety disorder panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.

They will want to be sure that there isn't a physical cause, such as thyroid problems or heart disease. They will also ask you about your family history of mental illness and any drugs or supplements that you take.

These can include an ancestor with a history of depression or other mental health disorders, a chronic medical condition and a bad experience in childhood, such as emotional, physical or sexual abuse or neglect.
If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, you may need treatment with psychotherapy or medication. Psychotherapy is a form of counseling that helps you learn new ways of thinking and behaving. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most researched form of psychotherapy to treat anxiety disorders. It teaches you to recognize thought patterns that can trigger emotional distress and then alters the way you think about them. disorders anxiety of psychotherapy is exposure therapy which assists you in overcoming the situations, people or places that trigger your anxiety.
Certain medications can ease some of the most depressing symptoms of anxiety disorders , including the rapid heart rate and shaking.

Beta blockers, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure, can reduce anxiety symptoms by blocking adrenaline that causes them.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety sufferers fear everyday social situations like meeting new people or speaking to strangers. They feel anxious about being judged by others, and they think they will be judged or embarrassed. The fears aren't rational and exaggerated, but they impact your life in many ways. It's not shyness which may be an normal reaction to certain circumstances.
The healthcare professionals employ various tools and tests to determine if you are suffering from this condition. They will ask about your symptoms and the effect they have had on your life. They can also conduct physical examinations and test your blood pressure. This will help them determine if your symptoms are due to a medication or a health issue.
It's not clear exactly what causes this disorder. However, it appears to be a family issue and there's a link between this disorder and an overactive region of the brain referred to as the amygdala. Both genetic and environmental factors could be involved.
There are a myriad of treatment options for this disorder. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and antidepressant medications. CBT can help you develop new ways of dealing with your emotions, so you can face the things that scare you. You could also consider exposure therapy. It involves gradually being exposed to the situations that trigger your anxiety, starting with the most comfortable ones and then moving on to the ones that are most terrifying. Medicines can help lower your anxiety and improve your mood, but they don't alter your thoughts.
Sometimes these treatments don't take effect immediately. But you should keep trying until they work. Talk to your doctor in the event that your symptoms don't disappear after a few weeks. They might suggest alternative treatments or prescribe a different medication.
Support groups for people with social anxiety can be a great way to meet other people with the same condition. You can receive objective honest feedback from those who suffer from the same condition as you. You can also find out how others have dealt with their fears and what helped them. Support groups are available in person and online. But be careful when taking advice from those in a support group, because their experiences could differ from yours.
Specific Phobias
A specific phobia is an intense fear and irrational in response to an object or circumstance. It causes extreme distress that is not proportional to the risk that the trigger poses and can lead to people living their lives being afraid of the object or situations. In order to be identified as having a specific fear, the fear and anxiety must significantly affect functioning.
Fear can be triggered when you think of or see the trigger. It could also be triggered by being in the presence of an event that triggers the fear, for example when someone is walking by an object or watching a film that includes a scene with the object they fear. Particular phobias are those that involve fear of insects, spiders, or animals (arachnophobia), heights or flying, or blood, needles or injections (trypanophobia or hematophobia).
Specific phobias share many of the same symptoms similar to other anxiety disorders including fear, anxiety, and avoidance. Some people with phobias also tend to react too quickly or have panic attacks when exposed to the feared object or situation. In some instances, the fear and anxiety is so great that it causes a lack of interest in daily activities.
The most commonly used treatment for specific phobias is exposure therapy, which involves gradually exposing a person to the parts of the feared object or situation until their reaction is less or eliminated. This kind of therapy typically involves cognitive behavioral therapy in order to assist the patient in learning new ways of thinking about and dealing with the phobias.
Some people with phobias exhibit symptoms of other mental health disorders like anxietyphobia, depression or bipolar disorder, substance related disorders and somatic symptom and related disorders (particularly dependent personality disorder). It is essential to rule out these conditions before starting treatment for a phobia.
For certain people, long-term psychotherapy is needed to tackle a particular phobia. Treatment for phobias can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including cognitive treatment (CBT) or exposure therapy. Other methods include hypnosis as well as a method known as modeling, in which the person watches as a professional trained in the field interacts with the feared subject or event. Medications like short-acting sedatives/hypnotics, beta blockers, benzodiazepines or medications commonly used to treat anxiety or depression can be taken as needed to lessen the anxiety associated with anxiety that is anticipatory.
