  2. Types Of Anxiety Disorders Anxiety disorders affect everyone. In fact, many people meet criteria for an anxiety disorder diagnosis but do not realize it. Ironically, less than half of those with an anxiety disorder receive the help they need. Distress severity may or may not be reflected by the degree of impact it has on their relationships, functioning and their quality of life. Some individuals can put up with tremendous anxiety for unnecessarily long periods of time. info@floridahelplineforanxiety.com www.floridahelplineforanxiety.com

  3. Types Of Anxiety Disorders Physical Symptoms Of Anxiety Emotional Symptoms Of Anxiety Excessive worry Feeling tense or easily startled Irrational fears or phobias Panic attacks (fight-or-flight reactions) Feelings of dread Difficulty concentrating Always anticipating the worst; watching for signs of danger unnecessarily Restlessness and trouble sleeping Absentmindedness Nervousness • Muscle tension • Teeth grinding • Nail biting • Sweating • Headaches • Fatigue • Insomnia • Shaking/trembling • Dizziness/light-headedness • Upset stomach/digestive problems • Pounding heart

  4. Anxiety Treatment Program Many factors related to symptoms are factored into anxiety disorder diagnoses. These include symptom severity, duration, triggers and associated behaviors. Each type of anxiety disorder has specific criteria that must be met for a diagnosis to be made. All types require that the anxiety must be causing: “… significant distress or impairment in social, academic, occupational or other important areas of functioning,” according to the DSM-5. info@floridahelplineforanxiety.com www.floridahelplineforanxiety.com

  5. Treatment For Anxiety In our current society, anxiety often goes untreated. Symptoms tend to worsen over time and unhealthy coping mechanisms can become habits that are hard to break. Too frequently, those experiencing symptoms of anxiety can compensate for long periods, then either gradually or rapidly decompensate. When thoughts and feelings of dread become excessive and coping behaviors become irrational or dysfunctional, it is time to seek help. It is far easier to admit that things are not all right rather than explain why things have fallen apart. info@floridahelplineforanxiety.com

  6. Barriers To Treatment Despite initiatives aimed at connecting people who are struggling with anxiety and providers who can help them, many are not receiving the care they need. Recent efforts have been made in public health awareness and education about anxiety disorders. Also, recruitment and education of more providers with competency in anxiety treatment. But barriers to care still exist. Two major barriers are social stigma (real or imagined) and health insurance problems. Stigma and insurance barriers can be overcome, but the biggest barrier remains. info@floridahelplineforanxiety.com
