Do you experience obessions, compulsions and anxiety from time to time? How do you know if it is simply a quirk in your personality or if it’s a full-blown anxiety disorder?
Some of the anxeity disorders are panic, obsessive-compulsive, post-traumatice stress, social anxiety and phobias. Each specific disorder has its own symptoms, but all of the symptoms all revolve around excessive fear.
One way to know is that if your symptoms last for more than six months instead of a mild, short-term bout of anxiety, it’s probably a disorder. Also, if the feelings are debilitating and overwhelming to the point that you cannot function properly, it’s probably a disorder. Finally, if you find that your anxiety symptoms lead you to have other problems such as substance abuse or other addictions, you might have an anxiety disorder.
