Being ashamed, in itself, is the number one reason why people do not seek the help they need. There are many anxiety disorders ranging from mild to severe. This disorder can be particularly debilitating because of the unpredictable timetable. Many people who suffer from this disorder often become agoraphobic. That is why many people stay in their homes, because of the fear of having yet, another panic attack.
Social phobia is one of the more common anxiety disorders.
It involves fear of embarrassment or humiliation in situations where you are exposed to the scrutiny of others or must perform. This fear is stronger than the other disorders, in that you start to avoid the situation altogether. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a chronic anxiety that persists for at least six months but is again, unaccompanied by panic attacks, phobias or obsessions. This could include a death, a birth, a move, something that has changed your life in the period of six months. Obsessions are the thoughts or ideas that seem senseless but nevertheless continue to encroach into your mind.
