What is anxiety disorder?
Ever questioned why you shook before an exam or why your palms started to sweat before a job interview? The body naturally uses these apprehensive emotions to get ready for a significant occasion. Once the event began, you would have also noted how you began to relax; your breathing became smoother, and your heart stopped pounding.
Such worry makes us more aware, which improves our performance. But sometimes people get anxious or have panic attacks for no obvious reason. An anxiety disorder may be present if you struggle to manage your worries and if these persistent sensations of anxiety interfere with your ability to carry out your regular activities.
Types of anxiety are divided into regular anxiety and anxiety disorder
Regular Anxiety
- Worrying about bills, job interviews, tests, or other important events. The feeling of ‘butterflies in your stomach’ before a public performance or a big meeting.
- Fear of a dangerous object, place, or situation, for instance, a stray dog barking at you on the street.
- Sadness or worry immediately after a traumatic event such as the loss of a loved one.
- Maintaining hygiene personally and in your surroundings.
- Breaking into a sweat before a big match.
Anxiety Disorder
- Worrying constantly and excessively for no apparent reason, making it difficult for you to perform day-to-day activities.
- Fearing any social or performance-related situations, in which you may be exposed to possible scrutiny by others. You fear that you will act in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing.
- Irrational fear of an object or place, such as fear of entering an elevator believing that an escape might be not possible.
- Repeated flashbacks, dreams, and subsequent worry following exposure to an extremely traumatic event in the past.
- Performing excessive and repetitive cleaning and rearranging things and objects around you. Repeated panic attacks along with nervous feelings like “I am going to die” for no apparent reason, and the constant fear of having another attack.
