Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Phobia

A small list of anxiety disorders are the panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia,and the obsessive compulsive disorder. This entire list of disorders all have to do with how people react to and deal with stressful moments and situations in their lifetime.
The panic disorder relates to panic attacks, when people randomly become extremely shaky and stressed (Ediger,2015). A panic attack is said to be your body’s natural response to being threatened. When someone has an attack, they immediately lose their breath, become light headed, and can sometimes feel numbness in their muscles (Ediger,2015). Most people often think that they are dying, from something like a heart attack during their first panic attack, and most of the time they end up
Agoraphobia is the fear of being in any place or situation without being able to escape or flee easily (Spiegel,2015). There are many definitions or ideas of agoraphobia is, but the real definition is the fear of the marketplace. Some might think that the phobia means that people are just afraid of going outside, but really they are afraid of all and any public places, or crowds of people (Spiegel,2015). People with the fear typically create mental safe zones where they can go to quickly to try and lose or calm down their anxiety or stress. A few of the most common risk factors of obtaining agoraphobia are stressful childhood events, panic disorder type symptoms or the tendency towards anxiety (Spiegel,2015). Women are more than three times more likely to achieve agoraphobia, and it mostly results in isolation, depression, and sometimes even substance abuse (Spiegel,2015).

There are many different thoughts of the symptoms, like only ever thinking about what other people think of you, or making derogatory or bad comments about yourself (Abdulrehman,2015). Some other aspects of the phobia are more physical ones, like rapid shortness of breath, higher heart rate, dizziness, and even nausea (Abdulrehman,2015). There can even be symptoms like blushing, shaking, or stuttering and stammering (Abdulrehman,2015). People who have social anxiety often become anxious and they begin to take in all sorts of different thoughts that turn out to be completely inaccurate. Sometimes a treatment for this disorder can just be large amounts of support towards the anxious ones, but it's mainly psychotherapy (Abdulrehman,2015). According to Mayo Foundation for Medical Education of Research(2015), “Several types of medications are used to treat social anxiety disorder. However, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often the first type of medication tried for persistent symptoms of social anxiety. The serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine (effexor XR) also may be an option for social anxiety disorder”. (P.
