Anxiety disorder is a blanket term covering several different forms of abnormal, anxieties, fears, and phobias. Distinguishing among different anxiety disorders is important, since accurate diagnosis is more likely to result in effective treatment and a better prognosis. Health care providers can differentiate between the various categories of anxiety disorders.
Anxiety, worry, and stress are all a part of most people’s life today. But simply experiencing anxiety or stress in and of itself does not mean you need to get professional help or you have an anxiety disorder. In fact, anxiety is a natural and sometimes necessary warning signal of a dangerous or difficult situation happening in your life. Without anxiety, we would have no way of anticipating difficulties ahead and preparing for them. However, unmanageable anxiety deserves attention and professional help, and Compass Clinical Associates can be that help.
