EP01 - Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are common mental health conditions that go beyond temporary worry or fear. They include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias. Symptoms can vary but often include excessive worry, physical symptoms like a racing heart, and avoidance of triggering situations. Treatment options include psychotherapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy), medication, and stress management techniques. These disorders can significantly interfere with daily life, but effective treatments are available.
