Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a normal reaction to an important event, such as a school presentation, business meeting, and moving to a new city.  However, excessive, continuous anxiety that interferes with your daily life may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.  Anxiety disorders cause people to feel afraid, panicky, and startled. It may manifests itself as an overreaction to a situation that may be easily resolved.  If untreated, anxiety disorder can greatly diminish productivity and decrease an individual’s quality of life.

Everyday Anxiety

  • Worry about paying bills, landing a job, a romantic breakup, or other important life events
  • Embarrassment or self-consciousness in an uncomfortable or awkward social situation
  • A case of nerves or sweating before a big test, business presentation, stage performance, or other significant event
  • Realistic fear of a dangerous object, place, or situation
  • Anxiety, sadness, or difficulty sleeping immediately after a traumatic event

Anxiety Disorder

  • Constant and unsubstantiated worry that causes significant distress and interferes with daily life
  • Avoiding social situations for fear of being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated
  • Seemingly out-of-the-blue panic attacks and the preoccupation with the fear of having another one
  • Irrational fear or avoidance of an object, place, or situation that poses little or no threat of danger
  • Recurring nightmares, flashbacks, or emotional numbing related to a traumatic event that occurred several months or years before
