What is an anxiety disorder?
We all feel anxious from time to time however, for some
people, these anxious feelings are overwhelming and
cannot be brought under control easily. An anxiety
disorder is more than just feeling stressed – it’s a serious
condition that makes it hard for the person to cope from
day to day.
How common are anxiety disorders?
Anxiety disorders are very common. One in four people will
experience an anxiety disorder at some stage in their lives.
Types of anxiety disorders
There is a range of anxiety disorders. The six most common
disorders are:
1. Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) which involves
the person feeling anxious and worried on most days over
six months or more.
2. Specific Phobia: When a person has a Specific Phobia,
he/she feels very fearful about a particular object or
situation. As a result, people may go to great lengths to
avoid these objects/situations, making it difficult for them
to go about their daily life. Examples include fear of having
an injection or travelling on a plane.
3. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): People with
OCD have ongoing unwanted/intrusive thoughts and fears
(obsessions) which cause anxiety. These obsessions are
relieved by carrying out certain behaviours or rituals
(compulsions). For example, a fear of germs and
contamination (obsession) can lead to constant washing
of hands and clothes (compulsion).
