Understanding Anxiety Disorders

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural stress response, characterised by feelings of worry, fear, or apprehension. While occasional anxiety is normal, chronic anxiety can interfere with daily activities and lead to significant distress. It manifests through both psychological and physical symptoms, which can vary in intensity from mild unease to debilitating panic.

Types of Anxiety Disorders

There are several types of anxiety disorders, each presenting unique challenges:

  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Individuals with GAD experience persistent and excessive worry about various life aspects, including work, health, and relationships.
  • Panic Disorder: This disorder is characterised by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks, which are sudden surges of intense fear or discomfort.
  • Social Anxiety Disorder: Those with social anxiety disorder fear social situations and being judged by others, leading to avoidance behaviours.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): PTSD develops after exposure to a traumatic event, resulting in flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety.
Symptoms of Anxiety

Common symptoms of anxiety include:

  • Restlessness or feeling keyed up
  • Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability
  • Muscle tension
  • Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
  • Physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling

Understanding these symptoms is crucial for recognising anxiety disorders and seeking timely treatment.
