Understanding Anxiety 

One of the most common questions for those who suffer from anxiety is, “What is anxiety?” In the simplest of terms, anxiety is your body’s natural reaction to stressful or fear-inducing situations. While everyone experiences anxiety to at least some degree, those diagnosed with anxiety experience this fear or stress on a whole other level. 

• Social Anxiety: This form of anxiety is also referred to as social phobia. Those who experience social anxiety experience anxiety in social situations, regardless of whether they are familiar with or a stranger. Often, those diagnosed with social anxiety feel intense fear or stress when performing and speaking in front of a large group of people. They will often avoid situations that they feel they can embarrass or humiliate themselves. Social anxiety often negatively impacts both personal and professional relationships and lives.
• Generalized Anxiety: Those who suffer from generalized anxiety feel anxious or worried most of the time, not just in specific situations. These worries or anxieties are intense and persistent and often interfere with one’s day-to-day life. Work, school, health, and family are all aspects of life that can cause extreme stress and uncontrolled thoughts. If someone is suffering from generalized anxiety, they likely experience related conditions, including depression.
• Specific Phobias: An individual suffering from specific phobias have an intense fear of a specific phobic stimulus. Fear of heights, spiders, and blood are all prevalent phobia disorders. While those who experience phobias know that they are experiencing panic or distress disproportionate to the actual fear or perceived danger, their fear responses are automatic and must be unlearned.
