Anxiety Q & A

I feel anxious before meeting new people. Is that normal anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal response to situations with unknown outcomes. You may feel nervous, fearful, or excited when meeting new people, going for a job interview, or taking a test. Your anxiety is your body’s way of preparing you for the stressful situation, making you more alert and reactive.

 

However, anxiety that is overwhelming, occurs all the time, or affects your ability to go about your day-to-day life may mean you have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety that keeps you from socializing with others, for example, can make it hard for you to function.

What are types of anxiety disorders?

The mental health experts at Spectrum Behavioral Health LLC classify anxiety into types based on symptoms and triggers. There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

GAD is a chronic form of anxiety that causes persistent anxiety and fear that occurs daily, centering on everyday activities like work, school, or money. This type of anxiety may also cause headaches, neck pain, or digestive distress. 

Panic disorder

People with panic disorder have frequent, unexpected panic attacks that cause paralyzing fear and physical symptoms like shortness of breath or shaking. 

Social anxiety disorder

Social anxiety disorder is avoidance of social gatherings because you fear you may embarrass yourself or be harshly judged. 

Phobias

Phobias cause inappropriate levels of fear over objects or situations, such as a fear of needles or flying. The anxiety triggered by the object or situation outweighs any real danger.
