Anxiety orders as a groups are the most
prevalent mental health condition.
Fear occurs as a result of perceived
imminent threat whereas anxiety is a state of
anticipation about perceived future threats
To be diagnosed as an anxiety disorder, the
fear and anxiety are marked (excessive or
out of proportion to the actual threat posed),
persistent, and associated with impairments
in social, occupational, or other important
areas of functioning.
Fear negative judgment from others and, in
particular, fear being embarrassed,
humiliated, or rejected, or offending others
anxiety is a dimensional construct, and the
distinction between what is normal and
abnormal rests on clinical judgments of
severity, frequency of occurrence,
persistence over time, and degree of distress
and impairment in functioning.
Different anxiety disorders can have
identical or very similar behavioural
manifestations (eg, avoidance), but enquiries
about associated beliefs (ie, cognitions)
usually allow discernment of the prevailing
Responses
This doesnt surprise me at all, a lot of people
I know suffer from anxiety and its not at all
shocking that its the most common.
What Im understanding is that anxiety is
constantly there when there isnt even a threat
perceived while fear only happens in moments
where you feel threatened or endangered.
You cant be diagnosed with an anxiety
unless it impacts you to the point that you
cant function in your daily life and it has to be
pretty excessive.
Social anxiety disorder is the fear of
judgement from others and thinking that
something really embarrassing is going to
happen in front of others.
Anxiety cant be described just one way.
Everyone is different and the type of anxiety
you have, how long youve had it and the
severity of it can make the experience
different than everyone else who also have
anxiety.
What I am understanding is that people might
act the same way but the reason that they do
it is different. One person may avoid others
for fear of rejection and someone else may do
it because they are afraid of doing something
