Problems with anxiety can manifest in many ways. Panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorders, avoiding certain situations or places, the list can go on indefinitely of how anxiety can negatively affect us. There are so many things to be worried about in this life. Death, sickness, disease, job loss, war, political problems; adults can find any number of things to worry about in day to day life. Children can also experience worry and anxiety. These may include things such as problems with friends, problems in school, worry about the future or their parent’s relationship. Life may be more simple for children, but they too can suffer from anxiety problems.
Anxiety is difficult to deal with alone. Making the decision to seek counseling can be difficult, but it can also signal the turning point in your struggle. It is important to deal with anxiety issues so that you can move on with your daily tasks and goals. While it may not be an easy decision, it is very important for you and your family.
Exploring Types of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety problems can be troublesome, but may not be currently manifesting as a serious disorder. At other times, anxiety issues can become so severe that it becomes difficult to complete daily life tasks. Every age group, socioeconomic group, gender, and class can be affected by anxiety disorders. These disorders can come on at any time in life, suddenly or gradually. There are many different types of anxiety issue and disorders. These include:
- School phobia (particularly in children)
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Social anxiety
- Phobias
- Panic disorder
- Agoraphobia (fear of specific places or situations)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Separation Anxiety
Panic disorders can be very troubling for the person suffering from them, and also for their loved ones. Having to avoid places and situations in order to not suffer from anxiety is no way to live. It can be similar to living in a prison if the list of places and things one cannot experience grows too long. For a child, having issues with anxiety may be difficult to express. These problems can appear differently in children, perhaps with the child or teen seeming angry or uninterested in school or sports. A trained counselor can determine what issues you or your child are actually dealing with, and then help develop a plan of action.
