Anxiety is one of the most common conditions for many people especially the ones who are always thinking about many things. This kind of mental disorder is characterized by the feeling of worry, fear and uneasiness that is associated with other health problems. Though this is very common to many people, suffering from intense anxiety is very alarming because it will affect not only your health, but also your daily activities.

There are different types of anxiety disorders and all of them are dependent on a specific behavior that a person shows. If you want to learn more about the different types of anxiety disorders, you can check it out below.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

As the term suggests, this is a general anxiety disorder characterized by the feeling of worry and uneasiness in almost everything. Actually, the circumstances are just normal but they are feeling fear or worry about it. The only problem is that they don't know why they are experiencing worry or fear.

Phobia

Though this is a different disorder, it is also under the anxiety category and this is all about fear of a specific object. As a matter of fact, the people who are suffering from this are extremely afraid of something that does not post any threat or danger to them.

Social Phobia

This is also a kind of phobia but it is related to extreme shyness, especially when brought to a place with a lot of people. The people who are suffering from this phobia are extremely afraid of areas with a lot of people. Because of their extreme shyness, they prefer to stay at home and they do not go to school.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

This is known for repetitive actions or behaviors to reduce the anxiety that they are feeling. One of the best examples of this is the frequent checking of doors if it is locked or not. Even if they already know that they locked the door, they will keep on checking it over and over again.

Separation Anxiety

This is a kind of anxiety most common to children especially if they are separated from their parents early. However, when the child already adjusts on his/her situation, this anxiety will disappear.

These are only some of the common anxiety disorders experienced by many people. If you are already experiencing some of these anxieties, it is best to ask for the help of a professional immediately.
