Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions marked by excessive, persistent worry and fear that interfere with daily activities. Common types include:
1. **Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)**: Chronic, exaggerated worry about everyday events, causing restlessness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
2. **Panic Disorder**: Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks with physical symptoms like heart palpitations and shortness of breath, leading to avoidance behaviour.
3. **Social Anxiety Disorder**: Intense fear of social situations and being judged, resulting in avoidance and severe anxiety in social interactions.
4. **Specific Phobias**: Irrational fear of specific objects or situations, leading to avoidance and distress.
5. **Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)**: Unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions) to reduce anxiety.
**Symptoms**: Persistent worry, physical symptoms like sweating and trembling, and avoidance behaviours that disrupt daily life.
**Treatment**: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to challenge distorted thoughts, medication like SSRIs to manage symptoms, and lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and relaxation techniques to improve overall well-being.
