Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a prevalent mental health condition that affects both children and adults, characterized by excessive worry, fear, and apprehension that can interfere with daily functioning. In children, anxiety disorders may manifest as excessive clinginess, avoidance of social situations, or difficulty concentrating in school, which can lead to academic struggles and strained relationships. Adults with anxiety often experience persistent fears or worries that affect their ability to work, socialize, and engage in everyday activities, sometimes resulting in physical symptoms like tension and fatigue. Different types of anxiety disorders include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Separation Anxiety Disorder. The varied symptoms and severity of anxiety disorders highlight the need for appropriate support and intervention to help individuals manage their anxiety and improve their overall quality of life.
