When you have GAD, your mind won’t seem to stop worrying about anything and everything, even when there isn’t really a reason to. It’s like your brain is stuck in overdrive, making it difficult to relax.

You likely feel restless and tired, have trouble focusing, or struggle with sleeping. Generalized Anxiety Disorder goes beyond regular everyday stress. It can linger and make life seem overwhelming. The good news is that anxiety treatment can help.

Social anxiety disorder goes beyond simply being shy. When you struggle with SAD, you have a deep fear of being judged, embarrassed or saying something wrong in social situations. It can make speaking in front of others or meeting new people difficult.

OCD can be highly complex and is characterized by your brain getting stuck in a loop of unwanted obsessions and uncontrollable compulsions to ease your anxiety. It’s more than just wanting things to be neat and tidy.

You may think panic disorder and panic attacks are the same thing, when in fact, panic disorder encompasses panic attacks. In other words, panic disorder is when you have sudden intense panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere, leaving you short of breath, dizzy, or even feeling like you’re having a heart attack.

To make matters worse, you fear having future panic attacks, making your anxiety even worse. The good news is that anxiety treatment and techniques to help you build your resilience can help you regain control and reduce panic attacks over time.

When you experience a deep, lingering low mood that makes even getting out of bed feel exhausting, you may have Major Depressive Disorder. It’s more than just feeling sad. You feel hopeless and empty and struggle to find interest in doing anything you once enjoyed.

As its name suggests, Persistent Depressive Disorder is a long-term, low-grade depression that is always just – there. You may not feel completely hopeless, sad, and exhausted. But there is a constant heaviness, lack of motivation, and low mood that won’t go away.

It can last years if left untreated, making your everyday life dull and draining. However, depression treatment, along with lifestyle changes, can help you get out of your funk and actually enjoy life again.

Pregnancy and childbirth involve a rollercoaster of hormones and emotions, so it can be challenging to pinpoint when you may be experiencing postpartum depression. It’s essential to recognize PPD as more than just the “baby blues” that typically only last for about two weeks.
