What is anxiety?

Anxiety is your body's way of responding to stress or perceived threats. In moderation, it's entirely normal. But sometimes, anxiety takes on a life of its own and becomes an anxiety disorder, which can alter your daily life. 

What are common types of anxiety disorders? 

Common anxiety disorders that the Clarity Health Solutions team treats include:

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

GAD is like having a never-ending to-do list of worries about everyday life. The source is often elusive, but the anxiety is constant.

Social anxiety disorder

This disorder causes anxiety about getting into a social interaction that may lead to embarrassment, humiliation, being looked down on, or rejection. 

Phobias

Specific phobias are intense, irrational fears of particular things or situations, such as heights, spiders, or flying.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

OCD comes with intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that drive repetitive behaviors (compulsions). 

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Often following a traumatic event, PTSD can bring on symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional distress.

Panic disorder

Panic disorder is defined by sudden, intense, and debilitating panic attacks that can strike at any moment, even without any apparent reason.

Relationship anxiety

This form of anxiety revolves around the fear of rejection and abandonment within relationships, causing insecurity and emotional distress.
