Learn all the Different Types Of Anxiety

A panic or anxiety attack can happen to any person. It is usually sudden and sometimes a very intense occurrence of fear, anxiety and panic. Attacks may have no specific trigger and appear random but they are actually the result of many other factors. Recurring stresses may be the issue or something traumatic are just a few things that may be causing the attacks. If you choose not to treat your anxiety it can leave you in a devastated state and afraid of everything. It can even lead to depression.. Do you know how many different types of anxiety there are? The following are the most common. It’s possible to experience more than one type at a time.

1. Social anxiety (anxiety in social situations causing considerable distress)
2. Obsessive compulsive disorder (obsessive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors)
3. Agoraphobia (when a person feels intensely anxious about being trapped in certain situations from which they can’t easily escape)
4. Phobias (exaggerated and unrealistic fear of a non-threatening situation)
5. Panic disorder (attacks that occur unexpectedly and repeatedly leaving you in fear when the next attack will happen. Most people experience the first attack between 15 and 19yrs old)
6. Generalized anxiety disorder (excessive worry for a period of over 6 months)

It can begin at any age, even childhood but the average age of onset is 31 years old. How can you tell if you have anxiety? See the symptoms listed below:
