Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive, persistent, and often irrational fear or worry about future events or situations. People with anxiety disorders may experience intense and overwhelming feelings of fear, apprehension, and uncertainty, which can significantly impact their daily life and functioning.
There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:
-

​People with GAD experience excessive and persistent worry about a variety of different things, such as work, health, finances, or family. The worry is difficult to control and can interfere with daily life. Symptoms can include restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances.

​People with social anxiety disorder have an intense fear of social situations, such as public speaking, meeting new people, or attending social gatherings.

Specific Phobias
