First look at anxiety disorders: generalized, panic, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders.?

Feel free to offer an example if you have one.

Generalized anxiety disorder is a disorder characterized by excessive worry, nervousness, etc. about several different things.

Panic attacks are short periods of extreme anxiety, accompanied by racing heart rate, sweating, chest tightening, etc.

Phobias are fears about specific things or situations (ex. arachnophobia--fear of spiders)

Obsessive compulsive disorder requires reoccurring anxiety provoking thoughts (obsessions) and actions to relieve the anxiety (compulsions). (EX. worrying about someone robbing your house (obsession) and checking your locks repetitively (compulsion)
