Are you are worrier? No, I don't mean do you have appropriate concern. I mean do you have excessive, consistent, persistent worry that causes you distress or even impairs your life? Let me ask you this: have you ever locked the front door, and you know you locked that front door, yet the thought of the possibility of it being unlocked drives you to go and lock it again, and then to keep checking over and over again to make sure that it's locked? If the answer is "yes", you may have an anxiety disorder.

5 Types of Anxiety disorders that may surprise you

1. Generalized anxiety disorder.
Now again, it is normal to have some worry, some anxiety. But a generalized anxiety disorder is different. In generalized anxiety disorder, there is an excessive, consistent, persistent worry which actually causes great distress, and it impairs a life's function.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder used to be classified as an anxiety disorder, but now it actually has a classification of its own. But I'll still address it in this video because anxiety is so relevant in OCD.

3. Panic disorder.
Panic disorder is characterized by an abrupt, spontaneous, intense fear that leads to physical symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, hyperventilation. A panic attack can cause a person to feel like they are just extremely physically ill, and it often leads to them going to the emergency department.

4. Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia.
Social anxiety disorder is characterized by an intense fear of embarrassment, humiliation, scrutiny, judgment in social settings or in settings where one has to perform or speak. The intense anxiety, or the fear caused by these social settings, is so extreme that it will cause a person with social anxiety disorder to avoid these social settings, even if it's to the person's own detriment.
5. Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
PTSD can occur in a person who has lived through a trauma. And by trauma I mean an event that has caused serious harm or even death or an event that had the potential to cause serious harm, injury, or death.
Fortunately, there are treatments for anxiety disorders. Depending on the specific type of anxiety disorder or the patient, the treatments will vary. So, treatments include therapy, such as psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy, or medications. There can be psychotropic drugs, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, benzodiazepines.
If any of these symptoms sound like they could affect you or a loved one, please consult your physician, and get worked up. Find out if you could have an anxiety disorder, and what the best treatment for you might be.
