Anxiety

Many of us use the terms stress and anxiety often interchangeably. Although stress and anxiety have a lot of similarities, they are actually two distinct conditions.

Some of the most common anxiety disorders we treat are:

  • Panic disorder : consists of severe, sudden episodes of arousal that can include heart palpitations, excessive sweating, difficulty breathing, fear of fainting or having a heart attack, amongst other symptoms

  • Anxiety due to a general medical condition: this type of anxiety disorder can be short- or long-term depending on the medical condition, more often heart conditions.

  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) : anxiety symptoms occur in multiple environments and due to multiple objects or situations. The anxiety may not have a known cause.

  • Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) : anxiety symptoms that occur after a trauma and are long-term in nature.

  • Social phobia, also called social anxiety disorder : anxiety symptoms occur in social or performance situations and stem from the fear of being humiliated or embarrassed.
