What Is Anxiety Disorder?

If you regularly feel anxious, seeking professional help is important. Our counselors and therapists in Atlanta offer anxiety and depression therapy to address your symptoms and provide long-lasting relief.
Types of Anxiety Disorders
There are several different types of anxiety disorders, each with its own unique set of symptoms. Our anxiety specialists in Atlanta can help you to identify the type of anxiety disorder that you are dealing with and develop an effective treatment plan.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive worry and tension that are not focused on any one particular thing. People with generalized anxiety disorder may worry excessively about their health, work, family, or money. They may find it hard to control their worry and may feel restless, irritable, and on edge.
Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia is an intense fear of situations where escape might be difficult or help would not be available if a panic attack occurred. People with this disorder often avoid public places, such as crowded streets, malls, or stadiums. In severe cases, people with this disorder may become confined to their homes.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is characterized by recurring, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors that are difficult to control. People with OCD may feel compelled to perform certain rituals or routines in order to alleviate their anxiety. These rituals can take up a significant amount of time and interfere with daily activities.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort that peaks within minutes and includes physical symptoms such as racing heart, shortness of breath, and dizziness. After a panic attack, people may worry about having another attack and may start to avoid places where previous attacks have occurred.
Separation Anxiety Disorder
Separation anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive anxiety about separation from loved ones. This can include anxiety about being away from home or away from family members or friends. People with separation anxiety disorder may avoid leaving home or going to school for fear of separation.
