What are Anxiety Disorders?

While anxiety is a normal feeling, anxiety disorders are not. They are mental disorders that can stop someone from carrying on with a normal life. Those that have one, live in constantly overwhelming fear and worry which can be disabling. Causes of anxiety disorders come from a variation of things such as changes in the brain, environmental stress and even a person’s genes. Disorders include panic disorder where the feeling of terror strikes randomly causing a panic attack, social anxiety, phobias that trigger anxiety, and general anxiety disorder. 

Treatment

Those with an anxiety disorder may have medication such as antidepressants or they may be treated with psychotherapy where they are counseled to address the emotional response to their mental illness.
