About Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions. They include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Anxiety becomes a clinical concern when it is persistent, excessive, and interferes with daily functioning.

Common Anxiety Disorders

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) — persistent, excessive worry across multiple domains
• Panic Disorder — recurrent unexpected panic attacks
• Social Anxiety Disorder — intense fear of social or performance situations
• Specific Phobias — marked fear of a specific object or situation

Treatment

Evidence-based treatment for anxiety includes cognitive behavioral therapy and, when indicated, medication management.

When to Seek Help

If anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, or sleep, an evaluation with a licensed clinician can help identify the appropriate level of care.
