  • Feelings of nervousness
  • Feelings of restlessness

Some people may even feel symptoms come on without knowing what brought them on. Continue reading to see how this condition manifests itself in different age groups.

Types of Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety tends to vary between each individual case, but there are a few basic types of anxiety disorders most cases can be identified as:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by consistent worry, anxiety, and tension, even if there is nothing to bring it on.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts (known as obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (known as compulsions). These compulsions, sometimes called rituals, are performed in an attempt to prevent these obsessive thoughts or make them subside. The compulsions typically only offer temporary relief, however, and can further contribute to anxiety.

Panic Disorder is characterized by repeated episodes of intense fear that bring on physical symptoms such as chest aches, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, dizziness, or abdominal distress.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Brought on after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening or traumatic event.

Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) is characterized by intense anxiety and self-consciousness in everyday social situations. It may be limited to only public speaking, but some people may experience symptoms whenever they are around other people.

Agoraphobia is characterized by fear of entering open or crowded places or being in places from which escape is difficult.

People with high stress or childhood trauma may be more likely to develop an anxiety disorder, as well as people with a family history of anxiety or other mental health disorders. Anxiety disorders can bring a higher risk of developing depression or heart disease, and some may turn to substance abuse to try to alleviate the symptoms of their disorder.
