Anxiety is a natural response to potential threats, helping us remain alert and aware. However, for many, anxiety can become overwhelming, persistent, and disproportionate to the situation, leading to a variety of anxiety disorders. These disorders can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

Reach out to Transformations Treatment Center today at (800) 270-4315 to begin the path toward recovery from co-occurring anxiety and addiction with our specialized treatment programs tailored to your needs.

Types of Anxiety Disorders:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Characterized by excessive and persistent worry about everyday situations. Individuals with GAD often anticipate disaster and may be overly concerned about money, health, family, or work.

  • Panic Disorder: Involves recurring panic attacks with symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and a feeling of impending doom.

  • Phobias: Intense fears of specific things or situations, such as spiders, heights, or flying.

  • Social Anxiety Disorder: A fear of social situations where one might be judged, embarrassed, or humiliated.

  • Agoraphobia: Fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult, leading some individuals to avoid leaving their homes.

  • Separation Anxiety Disorder: Fear of being separated from those to whom one is attached.

Causes and Risk Factors:

Symptoms:

Common symptoms across these disorders include persistent worry, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty concentrating. Physical symptoms like fatigue, muscle tension, and insomnia might also be present.
