Anxiety Disorders You May Not Have Known About

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent feelings of fear, worry, or anxiety, causing strain in one’s relationships, work, school, and family life. Anxiety disorders can also lead to and increase the risk of other issues like self esteem issues and depression. Here are some common types of anxiety disorders you may not have known about:

• Social Anxiety Disorder

  Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of social situations and a strong desire to avoid them. Social anxiety can prevent someone from grabbing opportunities for self-development and growth. 

• Selective Mutism

  Selective mutism is a type of anxiety disorder that is more common in children. Individuals with this condition experience a consistent failure to speak in certain social situations where there is an expectation to speak despite having no issues speaking in other settings. Although common in children, it can also affect adults. Our psychiatric rehabilitation program in Maryland can help address this issue and other forms of anxiety.

• Substance-Induced Anxiety Disorder

  Substance abuse or withdrawal from substances causes substance-induced anxiety disorder, which is a type of anxiety disorder. Symptoms often improve with consistent abstinence or treatment programs like our psychotherapy services in Baltimore, Maryland.
