And this disorder wears many masks. Unchecked anxiety can become panic attacks, fear of social interactions, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or major depressive states.
And anxiety isn"t just a mental condition. ADAA researchers show that "Many people with an anxiety disorder also have a co-occurring disorder or physical illness, which can make their symptoms worse and recovery more difficult. It"s essential to be treated for both disorders.""
