Professional Anxiety Counseling at Advent Counseling
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure- defined by The American Psychological Association (APA).
​
Most often, anxiety is a healthy emotion. But, when a person experiences disproportionate amounts of distress daily, it becomes a serious mental health condition. And when these mental health conditions get clustered, it overpowers common anxiety and causes anxiety disorders.
​
Difference between regular anxiety and anxiety disorders: Regular anxiety emotions come and go, but don’t mess with the daily life of a person. But, anxiety disorders contribute to extreme panic, fear, and nervousness, disrupting a person's daily life. Anxiety disorders require professional intervention, especially anxiety therapy sessions.
​
Passing anxiety is normal but too much anxiety has serious physical and psychological effects.
​
Types of Anxiety Disorders
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
GAD is a common condition, including excessive and persistent anxiety, nervousness, and stress. It spreads a general sense of apprehension or unease that colors your whole life.
​
Panic Disorder
A sudden, intense fear that has no apparent source leads to a panic attack. The physical signs people encounter because of a panic attack are a pounding heart, trouble breathing, and sweating.
​
Phobia
An extreme fear of anything that creates no or very little danger to people is called phobia. Some of the phobias include height, fear of sharp objects, snakes, and lizards. Phobias develop in childhood, but an individual can develop a phobia later as well.
​
Social Anxiety Disorder
Feeling anxious repeatedly in social situations is termed a social anxiety disorder. Commonly, people fear being investigated or judged by others in society. This leads to severe distress, paranoia, self-consciousness, and shame.
​
There are other lesser-known types of anxiety disorders as well.
