Signs And Symptoms Of An Anxiety Disorder

Whilst most people may experience feelings of anxiousness at some point in their lives, these feelings are generally only felt for a limited period of time. However, if an individual experiences repeated or chronic feelings of anxiety, which reach a level where they are interfering with the conduct of their daily life, then they may have developed an Anxiety Disorder.

Anxiety Disorders can affect as many as one in twenty people. Women have a greater tendency to experience them than men, and they most commonly emerge in early adulthood, although they can be experienced in both childhood and later on in life as well. There are a number of feelings associated with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Below is a checklist based on feelings experienced for a period of six months or more.

  • Feelings of extreme worry
  • Inability to control the feelings of worry
  • Feelings of anxiety have started to get in the way of every day activities, such as work or social activities
  • Restlessness
  • Feeling on edge, unable to relax
  • Irritability
  • Unable to sleep
  • Feelings of tiredness
  • Difficulty in concentrating
  • Feelings of sadness
  • Unable to feel positive or get pleasure from usual activities
  • Muscle Tension

As well as GAD, Anxiety Disorders are recognised in a number of other forms such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety Disorder and other more specific phobias. Each of these has their own sets of symptoms and the Anxiety Disorder Association of America (ADAA) offers information, advice and treatment suggestions for these and others.

If you, or someone you know, have a suspected Anxiety Disorder, it is important to take action and seek help from a professional. Anxiety Disorders can be interruptive, debilitating and even life threatening, but the appropriate course of action, whether through medication or therapy or both, can offer highly effective treatment and valuable results.

Social-And-Performance-Anxiety-Disorder      Social and Performance Anxiety Disorders cause individuals to fear certain social situations, usually to levels that affect their daily lives preventing them from carrying out ordinary tasks. For example, someone suffering from social anxiety may find attending college classes or going to a place of work too confronting and avoid these situations entirely. Someone suffering from performance anxiety may go to lengths to avoid speaking in public. Even the thought of social situations can cause feelings of anxiety. The core fears of social anxiety, or social phobia as it is also known, are the fears of being scrutinized and judged negatively by others, even if the sufferer realizes that this fear is extreme or irrational.
