A certain level of stress is normal in everyone’s life. However, stress can reach abnormal levels that manifests itself as phobias and fears that significantly affect your day to day living. An anxiety disorder can take many forms but the symptoms of anxiety disorder that are most common can take one of three forms.

First, the symptoms of anxiety disorder can be psychological. Symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder include having trouble sleeping or staying awake throughout the day, restlessness and constant worrying over many aspects of your life. Symptoms of anxiety disorder can also be physical. When this happens, you may start complaining about aches and pains that may have no discernible cause. For instance, you may begin getting chronic headaches or stomach problems. You may also experience dizziness or hot flashes and may also experience a general lethargy day after day.

Third, symptoms of anxiety disorder may also be behavioral. This can be seen through irritability over the smallest things, an inability to focus and a tendency to delay accomplishing tasks and responsibilities. There are several kinds of anxiety disorders, but generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common since this is not directed towards any particular object.

On the other hand, social anxiety disorder is caused by being too worried about what other people might think or say of you that you become paralyzed by this fear and unable to form social relationships or make public appearances. While some therapists have resorted to prescribing drugs for treating anxiety disorders, the best solution combines medicine with counseling. Talking about your problems has proven to be a form of release that has alleviated the levels of anxiety of an individual. Keep in mind, however, that anxiety disorders must be addressed as soon as possible, since they may get worse if left untreated.
